Divorce
Child Support
Bringing and defending claims of paternity effectively and efficiently, while addressing the delicate, sensitive and confidential issues inherent in these types of cases, requires effective, experienced representation. The relationship status of parents to one another, and to others, often generates issues that require creative solutions. Entitlement to child support, time sharing and shared parenting, whether by agreement or otherwise, are carefully evaluated. Our group is committed to helping our clients navigate through the paternity process, providing candid evaluation and advice, empowering them to make well-informed decisions.
Paternity
We are available to represent clients in all facets of marital and family law. We offer experienced counsel in negotiating and drafting prenuptial, postnuptial, and marital settlement agreements, as well as handling complex, high-income, significant-net-worth divorces, paternity matters and disputes which cross state and international borders.
Premarital Agreement
We understand how to best address issues that are unique to the negotiation and drafting of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, including multi-generational planning, with an eye toward creating a structure which allows our clients to focus on making their relationship a success.
Guardianship
We represent fiduciaries including personal representatives and institutional and individual trustees, as well as beneficiaries, guardians, heirs, and others in all aspects of contested trust, will and guardianship matters. We defend and prosecute breach of fiduciary duty, surcharge, removal, and accounting claims. We also litigate will contests, will and trust construction disputes, and claims of undue influence, incapacity or elder abuse involving vulnerable adults. Through non-judicial or judicial proceedings we also modify, reform and terminate trusts.
Spousal Support
There is no one size fits all solution to alimony awards. Each individual household is unique. Analysis of historical need as well as the evaluation of earned and passive income are necessary components of making alimony determinations. We carefully evaluate sources of income, including employment income, perquisites, benefit packages, anticipated cash flow from investments, and other income sources available to the household. This analysis, coupled with a study of historical lifestyle and spending, provides the confidence needed to make educated support related decisions.

That currency, combined with a wealth of experience, enables the Group’s lawyers to analyze complex cross-border issues, develop strategies that take account of regional differences, manage multi-cultured teams of lawyers and experts, collaborate with local counsel in emerging markets, and counsel global stakeholders in this challenging and ever-changing environment.

Our practical experience and extensive contacts within the industry enable us to advocate our clients’ positions effectively in commercial transactions involving insurance, as well as disputes concerning insured claims – whether in negotiations, litigation, arbitration, or administrative proceedings.
Construction Contracts
Our Construction attorneys work with clients to negotiate construction contracts, such as stipulated sum, cost plus fee and design-build contracts. They represent buyers, sellers, lenders, investors, developers, real estate investment trusts, public companies, insurance companies and owners and operators in connection with the construction of hotels, retail centers, office buildings, apartment complexes, industrial projects, and other commercial real estate and corporate assets. They also represent sellers and buyers in construction contract purchase and sale transactions and lenders and borrowers in construction and permanent financing transactions.
Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
Unfair Competition
Stearns Weaver Miller has one of the most formidable antitrust, competition and consumer protection practices in the country, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in some of the largest high-profile cases in the United States. Our attorneys are highly experienced in litigating complex antitrust class and individual actions before federal and state courts around the country involving price fixing, bid rigging, market and customer allocation, monopolization, monopsonization, unfair competition, deceptive and unfair trade practices, and price discrimination. We bring a wealth of experience to antitrust, competition and consumer protection cases, not only because we represent litigants on both sides of the “v,” but also because many of our lawyers have substantial experience in the industries in which our clients operate.
Antitrust
Best Lawyers in America. In addition, some of our attorneys are former state or federal enforcers and prosecutors, including a former Florida Chief Deputy Attorney General (and Deputy Attorney General for Enforcement), a former Florida Senior Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division and a former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. This breadth of experience gives our team valuable insight into how state and federal enforcement officials at these agencies think and act, allowing for creative and efficient resolution of government investigations and enforcement actions. Additionally, one of our partners is Board Certified by The Florida Bar in Antitrust and Trade Regulation.

Workers Compensation
Wrongful Termination
We also believe that if our clients become involved in a lawsuit, grievance, arbitration, claim of discrimination or wrongful discharge in any legal forum, they each deserve ethical and zealous representation. We are experienced trial attorneys, not just “litigators.” We are also labor attorneys with “in the trenches” experience in dealing with unions seeking to represent blue collar, white collar and professional employees, including collective bargaining, administrating union grievances, handling arbitrations, managing union certifications and elections, and defending unfair labor disputes in court and before the National Labor Relations Board.
Employment Discrimination
No employer likes to be accused of workplace wrongdoing but it has become commonplace in today’s litigious business environment. For decades, our Labor & Employment lawyers have defended employers in state and federal courts and before administrative tribunals in actions brought under Title VII, the FMLA, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Florida Whistleblower Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Railway Labor Act, and other employment laws, among others. We have extensive experience defending class and collective actions involving wage and hour issues. On the other side of the caption, we regularly represent our clients in disputes involving theft of trade secrets, non-competes, breach of contract, defamation, and other business torts.
Employment Contract
Partner with our clients to audit employment practices, comply with wage and hour laws, draft employment agreements, protect trade secrets, realign workforces, and comply with EEO and affirmative action requirements and plans
Employment Litigation
We understand that our clients are in an extremely competitive business market and that employers (large and small in both the public and private sectors) need timely, practical business-oriented advice on labor and employment issues. We also understand that “human resources” are not a commodity, but real people with real workplace problems that are often difficult for our clients to address alone. We believe that partnering with our clients to provide strategic preventive counseling, training (in English, Spanish and Creole), audits and legal representation is the best antidote to complex and challenging workplace problems.

The Plaintiff sought damages in excess of $2,000,000. The trial lasted six days (with deliberations briefly spilling over to a seventh day).

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Identifying, valuing, evaluating and crafting a plan to distribute marital and non-marital assets and liabilities is the foundation of devising a fair and equitable distribution of the marital estate.
