ERRA Law was founded by four attorneys who wanted to offer clients a better, more personalized legal experience. Though each specializes in a distinct field, together they’ve earned a reputation throughout the southeast region for their work on major cross-industry cases involving Fortune 100 companies, emerging-growth businesses, government agencies, non-profits, and individuals both at home and abroad. Based in the heart of Coconut Grove in Miami, ERRA Law provides innovative solutions and results-oriented representation to its clients across a diverse range of disciplines, from commercial litigation to sports and entertainment.
