When the matter is too important for the wrong firm —
Governmental·Corporate·International
Multi-jurisdictional matters don't wait for the right firm to catch up. When federal agencies, South Florida municipalities, and international markets are all in play, you need one firm positioned at every level.
What sets this firm apart
Some matters don't fit neatly inside one jurisdiction. A development project needs municipal approval, federal regulatory clearance, and international investor confidence — at the same time. These are the matters Lasarte Law was built for.
We understand what's at stake when a project stalls, when a federal agency changes course, or when a cross-border deal needs regulatory certainty fast. Every engagement is led at the principal level by Felix M. Lasarte — a member of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, former senior counsel at Akerman LLP and Holland & Knight LLP, and former Chairman of the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority. That access comes with every matter the firm accepts.
Presidential advisory board level. DC · Federal Agencies · Municipal Chambers.
A specialized practice no South Florida firm has built. Federal regulation · International law · Supply chain strategy.
The firm's counsel has been cited across the Americas — Miami Herald, Semana, El Mercurio, NTN24, CBS, FOX — on U.S. policy, trade, and regulatory affairs.
