Practices
We proffer advice divorced from self-interest and pride ourselves on ethical, surgically precise litigation aimed at maximizing our efficacy.
Uncompromising Commitment to Your Interests
Martínez-Cid Law provides the highest quality legal services without the overhead, redundancies, or inefficiencies far too common in today's legal market. The firm understands that all litigation is local and thus maintains relationships with judicial and legal networks throughout Florida’s federal judicial districts, as well as Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Complex Business
Martínez-Cid Law attorneys have deep experience in representing clients in all types of breach of contract, shareholder disputes, fraud, real estate disputes, tortious interference, unfair competition, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and other commercial actions in state and federal courts, as well as in arbitration proceedings.
International Disputes
Many matters handled by the Firm involve cross-border or international issues, regardless of whether a domestic court has jurisdiction over a party. We are well-versed in forum non conveniens issues, international service of process and discovery, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, domestication and enforcement of foreign judgments against U.S.-based assets, and the initiation of U.S.-based parallel proceedings to supplement litigation abroad. Be it ICC, ICDR, AAA, or ICSID, our lawyers have experience and the know-how to navigate those fora.
Financial & Securities
Litigation
Our lawyers have represented financial institutions, registered investment advisors, and clearing or sub-clearing firms in a variety of customer-initiated securities litigation. Whether the matter involves claims of suitability, misrepresentations, fraud, unauthorized trading, churning, failure to supervise, expungement or intra-industry promissory notes and whether the claims are before FINRA, arbitration panels, or the courts, our lawyers can handle it all.
Media & Entertainment
Our firm maintains a robust media and entertainment practice, dealing with the First Amendment, defamation, invasion of privacy, advertising and commercial speech claims, copyright and trademark issues, and misappropriation of name, image, and likeness on behalf of those who create or disseminate content.
Investigations
With experience in complex and cross-border investigations, coupled with a deep understanding of investigatory tools and how to leverage technology, we are well-suited to represent clients in internal and government investigations. Whether the investigation regards possible corporate theft, bribery, fraud, corruption, workplace misconduct or other compliance-related or reputational risks, our lawyers work to resolve the manner in an efficient and effective way.
Class Actions
Apart from the expertise in the underlying substantive law relevant to class actions, our lawyers understand the strategic and procedural nuances specific to these kinds of cases. They are also well regarded by not only the bench, but also fellow class action practitioners for both plaintiffs and defendants.
Appeals & Original Proceedings
From trial through appeal, we advocate for our clients at every stage, and we are often retained solely to handle appellate issues. Our attention to detail, backed by appellate clerkship experience, equips us to handle appellate issues of all stripes, both state and federal.
