Where the Firm Works

We've sat in the founder's chair — the firm's principal built a legal-tech venture of his own and served as the first-ever general counsel of an international consumer-products manufacturer, standing up its legal function across five countries. We bring that operator's eye to growing companies: partnership and shareholder disputes when co-founders split, handbooks and HR guardrails before the first complaint arrives, and the contracts that keep momentum from outrunning the paperwork. Recent work runs from defending an employer through a harassment complaint to representing a telecommunications startup in federal court.

We work both sides of the condominium table — for associations, and for the unit owners across from them. When a condominium association sued four retiree unit owners under RICO for raising safety questions after Surfside, we defended them; the principal's commentary on condo disputes has run in The Real Deal and the Daily Business Review, and his analysis of Florida's condo-safety amendments ran in Law360. The docket covers the full property waterfront: purchase-and-sale and broker-commission fights, construction and lien disputes — including a lien foreclosure against a firm client dismissed with prejudice — and a foreclosure defense that ended with the case dismissed and a family still in its home.

Restaurants and food businesses run on thin margins, handshake habits, and vendors who know it. We've litigated what follows — food-distribution and supply disputes, vendor and lease fights for South Florida operators in Miami-Dade and Broward — and we serve as outside general counsel to hospitality businesses so the next dispute gets caught in the contract instead of the courtroom. Same commercial-litigation muscle, pointed at an industry where a bad month can't wait on a slow lawyer.

We built software before we litigated about it — the firm's principal founded a legal-tech startup and has published on e-discovery, digital evidence, and spoliation in Law.com and Lexology. In federal court, his trial team used digital forensics to prove the other side had intercepted privileged emails; the court found a fraudulent scheme by clear and convincing evidence, struck the opposing papers, and granted partial summary judgment as a sanction. Today we counsel companies on trade secrets and restrictive covenants — technology-fluent litigation for businesses whose evidence lives on servers.

The firm's principal spent years as general counsel of a global consumer-products manufacturer — walking FDA inspections, running recalls, fighting tariff classifications, and negotiating supply deals with global beauty brands. In litigation, he represented a chemical manufacturer challenging a city's rezoning of the land next to its plant — and the court invalidated the rezoning. We know the factory floor as well as the courtroom, and the firm doesn't learn your industry on your invoice.

We have taken on six Florida municipalities — and served inside government too: the firm's principal is an elected Parkland City Commissioner and a former New York Assistant Attorney General. In Natural Lands v. City of Boca Raton, he first-chaired a five-day federal bench trial in which the trial court ruled for our client and found city officials biased; the Eleventh Circuit later reversed on procedural grounds, and review is now being sought in the U.S. Supreme Court. Land use, procurement, code enforcement, constitutional claims — we know how public bodies actually decide, from experience inside them.
