Michael Long Email & Phone Number

I am passionate about getting in the trenches with my clients when the stakes are high and solving problems. I have a broad range of experience in business counseling, commercial transactions, intellectual property preservation and enforcement, regulatory matters and litigation of complex commercial, employment, Federal tax, wills and probate, construction, insurance coverage, professional and general liability matters. The combination of my experience in complex transactions and litigation allows me to see well beyond the immediate issues presented and to quickly develop and execute practical cost effective solutions for clients which maximize benefit and minimize risk in both the short and long term. I proudly served in the United States Marine Corps and am a decorated combat veteran. I bring that same sense of esprit de corps, focus, and commitment to the representation of each client who entrusts me with their valued work. I have achieved the highest possible rating for ethical standards and legal ability by Martindale-Hubbell, an AV Preeminent rating, and have been recognized in Florida Trend Magazine's Florida Legal Elite, an honor conferred on only 2% of the more than 66,000 active members of the Florida Bar, in 2010, 2011 and 2016. I have been published in Forbes, consulted by Fox News, and have been a featured speaker and panelist on business and commercial issues.Practice Areas:Litigation:Business Dispute Resolution and Litigation Commercial LitigationCivil LitigationEmployment LitigationOfficer and Director Defense Professional Liability Defense Insurance Coverage U.S. Tax CourtBusiness Counsel:Contract NegotiationOwners’ Agreements Commercial Contracts Intellectual PropertyPrivate Security Offerings Bank Lending Venture Capital Mergers & Acquisitions Federal and State Taxes
