A Business Law Firm

Founded in the Tampa Bay Area by Managing Partner Andrew Tapp in 2012, our firm has worked for a number of local and national companies. The first and foremost consideration for any advice that our attorneys offer is the health of your business. Sometimes this impacts how our contracts and agreements are designed, other times it impacts our advice regarding pending and potential litigation. We have found that a careful and considered approach to disputes minimizes negative impacts on businesses and frees up owners and managers to focus on the day to day operations of their business without concern for how a pending dispute is being handled.
