Meet Brian Barakat | Attorney

The strength of this firm is predicated on an aggressive strategy. We believe that we are more knowledgable, more well prepared trial attorneys than most of our adversaries. As such, we push cases to trial as quickly as possible. Typically this takes the opposition off guard and puts our clients in a position to capitalize, even when they have inferior facts. I began the business so that I could pursue my strategies, rather than the strategies of others.

We are business trial attorneys, not merely business litigators. We push our cases to a decision. In doing so, we achieve more favorable results for our clients in negotiation because we have a reputation for being willing to step into the ring.

Our firm has Board Certified expert business litigators. We have three of less than 250 Board Certified Business Litigators in the state of Florida. This is the only distinction recognized by the Florida Bar for expertise. Much less than 1% of all lawyer achieve this goal. We are one of only 3 firms in the entire state that has three certified in this area.

We are international. Our firm has lawyers who are from Italy, the Chez Republic, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Pakistan. and Turkey. The speak Italian, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi, Chez, German, Turkish and English. We are well positioned to litigate or arbitrate your international dispute.
