Securities and shareholder disputes demand lawyers who can master a company’s finances as thoroughly as its filings. Lawson Huck Gonzalez represents companies, officers and directors, investors, and financial-industry participants in securities fraud claims, shareholder and derivative litigation, disputes among owners and investors, and related financial-markets controversies in Florida’s state and federal courts.
The practice is led by Samuel J. Salario, Jr., a former judge of Florida’s Second District Court of Appeal whose litigation career has centered on complex commercial and securities matters. That judicial perspective — knowing how these cases are actually decided — informs how we plead, position, and resolve them.
