A Master Strategist in Complex Business Litigation

When our company faced a high-stakes, multi-district antitrust lawsuit that threatened our very existence, we knew we needed not just a lawyer, but a seasoned strategist. After consulting with several firms, we retained Michael Nachwalter and his team at Sperling Kenny Nachwalter PA. From our first meeting, it was clear why he has been recognized as a 'Lawyer of the Year' multiple times. His 58 years of experience provided an unparalleled depth of perspective; he didn't just see the immediate legal hurdles, but anticipated the opposing counsel's moves several steps ahead, drawing on a vast reservoir of precedent from his long career in complex business and corporate matters. The situation was daunting, but Mr. Nachwalter's calm, methodical, and fiercely intelligent approach was a steadying force. He masterfully deconstructed the plaintiff's claims, guiding us through every deposition and motion with clarity. His Yale LL.M. background was evident in the sophisticated legal arguments he crafted, which ultimately led to a highly favorable settlement that preserved our business operations. This was a 'bet-the-company' case in every sense, and having a lawyer of his caliber—one who has literally been named the best in that very field in Miami—made all the difference. His professionalism is matched only by his genuine dedication to his clients' success.
