We were one of the first international law firms to enter the South Florida
market. The lawyers in our Miami office practice throughout Florida and serve as
the principal connection to our Latin America practice.
Our Miami lawyers have handled some of the most significant lawsuits in Florida.
We represent clients in a broad array of commercial disputes, including deal
litigation, contract interpretation, corporate governance, real estate, class
actions, employment and labor, civil rights, construction, mortgage banking,
insurance coverage, bankruptcy and workouts, intellectual property, product
liability, toxic torts, and international disputes.
The Miami Corporate group provides guidance to clients on investments,
transactions, and compliance matters. Our work is primarily in the areas of
mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture capital, corporate finance
and capital markets (including public and private securities offerings),
emerging companies, corporate governance, joint ventures and strategic
alliances, cross-border transactions, and general corporate services. Our Estate
Planning and Trusts & Estates practice counsels high-net-worth individuals
on complex estate, tax, and business planning, providing a distinct solution to
each client we serve.
We have a thorough understanding of the specific risks and issues facing
companies across the entire healthcare spectrum. Our clients in this space range
from premier academic medical centers and hospitals and health systems to
long-term care facilities (including nursing homes) to home health agencies and
hospices, pharmacies, clinical labs, durable medical equipment suppliers,
pharmaceutical companies, and physician groups. Lawyers in our Healthcare and
FDA practice in Miami have extensive experience providing legal analysis and
advice concerning most aspects of healthcare provider regulation and compliance,
operations, and transactions. Further, we have a strong understanding of
government and internal investigations and litigation, as well as compliance and
corporate integrity agreements. We routinely deal with complex analyses of
reimbursement and other revenue cycle management compliance and legal issues. We
also represent clients with complex healthcare transactions, as well as disputes
and litigation.
In bankruptcy and debtor and creditor matters, we represent secured and unsecured
creditors, acquirers of assets and operations, bond and debenture holders, and
creditors’ committees. These engagements include significant
representations of banks, private equity investors, and asset-based lenders in
proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Lawyers in the Labor, Employment, and Workplace Safety group offer our employer
clients a robust practice encompassing day-to-day advice and counsel, defense of
employment disputes and investigations, wage and hour actions, workplace safety
claims, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 employment issues, and business
transaction support.
We also take great advantage of our location in Miami—the commercial
gateway to Latin America—to offer a vibrant international practice. We
represent both domestic and foreign clients in connection with inbound and
outbound international transactions, with a particular emphasis on commerce
involving Latin America. Our International Arbitration practice focuses on Latin
America, as Miami is often the preferred neutral location for disputes arising
out of the Caribbean, Central America, and South America because of its lower
costs, cultural compatibility, multilingual professional force, and special
international arbitration court division.
