Tampa Bay Business Journal story about how seven Tampa employment defense attorneys today announced the creation of a new law firm, Johnson Jackson LLC.  Founders are veteran employment attorneys Kevin Johnson and Erin Jackson. They are joined by attorneys Christopher Bentley, LaKisha Kinsey-Sallis, Bridget McNamee, Christopher Johnson and Ashley Tinsley.

Miami attorney Peter Quinter talks with USA Today about what recourse General Motors (and potentially other foreign companies) has in response to the Venezuelan government’s seizure of a plant in that country.

Peter chairs the Customs & International Trade Law Group at Florida-wide law firm GrayRobinson.

Tampa Bay Times Q&A with David Sobelman, founder and president of Generation Income Properties, the first REIT in the nation to be approved to raise capital and go public under new rules allowing for so-called mini IPOs. And a profile of David in the Business Observer.

Cover story in Tampa Bay Times’ LifeTimes section about how Nancy goes to great heights to help raise money for Academy Prep

Peter talking last night with NPR‘s All Things Considered about Castro’s death/Trump’s vow to reverse Obama’s Cuba policies.

Peter, who represents a growing number of companies eager to do business with Cuba, once served as counsel for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Southeast Regional Headquarters (where he once enforced trade sanctions against the island nation). He chairs the Customs & International Trade Law Group at the statewide law firm of GrayRobinson. He also chairs the International Law Section of the Florida Bar. Quinter is co-author of recently published book “Cuba: A Legal Guide to Business” (Thomson West).

Some publicity highlights, in no particular order, from the past several weeks for a couple law firm clients…
