An investigative report on how a US church, offshore shell companies, and rapper Flo Rida became entangled in a web of offshore banking schemes revealed in the #29Leaks investigation. A church, its shell companies and a plan to have rapper Flo Rida plug high-end bubbly Open In the News Open December 20, 2019 11 minutes read Sequor Law By Kevin G. Hall and Shirsho Dasgupta The middleman was ecstatic. An American archbishop was not only looking to move some money offshore, he was looking to move his finances abroad. “He says he feels he can swing his council or synod to establishing his whole banking empire as he envisions it and he wants to set up also an insurance company, various offshore companies,” wrote Michael O’Mara in a Sept. 8. 2015, email to a London-based offshore services provider. “I am trying also to sell him some of the recent companies you sent me with bank accounts to act as his holding companies.” It’s not every day that a church, enjoying tax-exempt status in the United States, is seen as a viable candidate to buy offshore shell companies with their own bank accounts, which can give the appearance of a longstanding business. The COO of one of those church-affiliated offshore businesses at one time had reached out to none other thanFlo Rida, the Miami-born rap artist, trying to swing a deal to have him invest in a brand of high-end champagne calledBillionaires Row. Flo Rida’s lawyer said no and the plan fizzled. But more on that in a bit. The emailabout the archbishop’s offshore shell companiesis part of a giant leak of more than a million documents from Formations House, a London-based financial services firm with clients across the globe, including some in the United States. Other leaked documents show that Archbishop Timothy Paul, the senior pastor of the Christian Cathedral in Springfield, Mass., purchased an official-looking insurance company, a Swedish investment trust and even a faux bank — one in name only — in Gambia. In interviews, he acknowledged spending tens of thousands ofchurch dollars on offshore companies — but says he never used the shell companies. Emails show O’Mara, who works out of an English seaside hotel room on behalf of Mediterranean Corporate Services, tried to sell the archbishop on religious-sounding names for his offshore entities — names like Alliance Parish Banking Ltd. or Alliance Congregational Bank & Trust Co. But the archbishop settled on Dominion Global Investment Capital Trust, serving as its president and taking the name, he said, from the book of Genesis. Dominion Global had a COO, William Benson, a brash New Yorker with a love of the limelight and a trail of unhappy business associates. They describe Benson as a frequent name-dropper, who boasted of his relationship with an archbishop, with Flo Rida and with the socialite Paris Hilton. Dominion Global wasn’t a bank of the conventional sort, with checking accounts, tellers and the like. Nor did it grant commercial loans to real-estate developers. When McClatchy and the Miami Herald called to check its operational hours, the call was put through to a man with a thick New York accent who said it wasn’t “that kind of bank.” Anyways, he said, the bank itself is in London. When a reporter visited the bank’s listed address in lower Manhattan, in a swank high-rise glass tower at 17 State Street, Suite 4000, on the Hudson River, that suite wasn’t an actual bank either. The guard there pulled out clipped-together paperwork listing hundreds of companies that together share the suite’s office space under a flat monthly fee. Two young women answer the phones, the guard offered, but there isn’t anyone else there. It was a virtual office, a fancy address that gives the aura of a real brick-and-mortar company. PIERCING THE VEIL The archbishop’s offshore business was among the intriguing narratives found in 10 years worth of Formations House records obtained by the anti-secrecy group Distributed Denial of Secrets and shared with investigative journalists, including those at McClatchy and the Miami Herald. Journalists collaborated for months and on Dec. 4 began publishing under the #29Leaks hashtag, a reference to Formation House’s tony address at 29 Harley Street in London. Reporters found Iranian oil companies dodging sanctions, a Miami resident busted in a DEA sting and a plan for industrial-scale cannabis farming in Cameroon. Formations House chief Charlotte Pawar said in emailed responses to questions that the leaked records were stolen and that she was subjected to extortion but did not provide evidence of that. The leak, combined with the recent Panama Papers and Paradise Papers leaks, gives added momentum to legislation now in the U.S. Senate that would end anonymity by requiring greater disclosure of the true ownership of shell companies in the United States. “99.99 percent of Americans don’t own offshore companies but the few that do try to tell you how legitimate it is,” said Edward H. Davis Jr ., an asset-recovery lawyer with Sequor Law in Miami. “The reality is the entire offshore system is designed to avoid detection of the existence and movement of wealth.” The Formations House leak adds a new wrinkle to the global debate, in part because it was based in London, not Panama or the faraway Seychelles, another haven for companies seeking tax avoidance. And it went beyond offering shell companies, but also faux banks that mimicked financial institutions butweren’t regulated or required to have a minimum amount of cash on hand. These bank-named shells can issue loans, mortgages to their members and even credit cards as if they were a normal bank, according to promotional materials. The Formations House documents provide insight into how these financial instruments are used. One email referenced a giant global gemstone wholesaler “sitting on a huge pile”, who sought three “banks” for internal operations, insisting on the humorous names Tightwad International Bank Ltd., Tightwad Bank International Co. Ltd. and Tightwad Global Bank Ltd. SHELL COMPANIES FOR GOD Archbishop Paul is not an archbishop in the Roman Catholic Church or the Anglican Church, the common associations with that rank of clergy. Paul said that 20 years ago he adopted the name of St. Paul when he was consecrated as an archbishop. He leads a freestanding Christian denomination that voted him archbishop and patriarch of the International Holy Communion of Churches , which he said involves roughly 700 churches that together count 4.6 million followers. Like the Russian or Greek orthodox churches, he said, the denomination follows the original interpretations of the early apostles. “We brought orthodoxy to African Americans,” he explained. Until recently, Paul was also president of Epiphany Development Corp., which converted a historic Springfield building into a Holiday Inn Express. Paul, 53, insisted there was nothing untoward about his church having offshore companies. “We wanted to fund missions and do things,” he said, noting he hoped to expand the reach of his church. “They sell offshore banks, so we thought this was a legitimate means to have an offshore bank for our ministries that we were going to be project-funding for.” The interest in going offshore began with an email solicitation, he said, and eventually the representative from Mediterranean Corporate Services came across the Atlantic to see him. Paul said he has foreign outreach in Gambia, India, Kenya and Zambia. His church website makes no mention of this. Asked about specific projects, he offered that the Swedish investment trust was established for that purpose but has yet to invest in projects. “That would be for the real-estate projects we’re going to do,” he said, suggesting they were raising capital to build a foreign supermarket. “It’s almost like a real-estate trust.” The Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, a #29Leaks partner, reported that Russian middlemen and Swedish offshore services providers had discovered and exploited a loophole in Sweden’s banking laws that gave the appearance that bank-named trusts were regulated when in fact those belonging to non-Swedes are not. Swedish documents shared with McClatchy and the Miami Herald show Paul signing the trust registration on Feb. 20, 2017. He said he used another consultant called Global Money Consultants to create that company. Paul also purchased a “bank” in Gambia, the smallest country on the African mainland but one with a large corruption problem, for years run by dictator Yahya Jammeh. Formations House chief Charlotte Pawar’s late father, Nadeem Khan, had convinced Jammeh to create an enterprise zone, which allowed the London firm to fashion a line of business registering offshore companies there. In an email to #29Leaks partners, O’Mara said he’d created more than 150 such banks in the Gambian offshore zone since 2013 for “wealthy families who want to handle their own finances.” The church doesn’t fit that description but O’Mara declined to discuss Paul’s offshore entities. Even though the Gambian enterprise zone was never fully authorized by the legislature there, banks sold for about $33,000 apiece today’s exchange rates, a price Paul didn’t dispute. Archbishop Paul created Global Dominion, but insisted the related “bank,” Dominion Bank & Trust Company Ltd., was never used. “We haven’t even operated from the Mediterranean Gambian license,” he said. “We paid a lot of money for it, but it was not something we used.” He later established Dominion Bank and Trust Company in the tax haven of the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean between Mozambique and Madagascar. It too hasn’t been used, he said . Paul purchased from Formations House a pre-existing shell company called Global Mortgages Ltd. British corporate registration documents show Paul as the main shareholder in 2017 but in 2018 and 2019 the company was threatened with dissolution. Global Mortgages Ltd. was going to be used as a vehicle to purchase real estate in Africa, he said, but the shell company was abandoned. “It was an idea that was kicked around” but never got off the ground, Paul said. Also registered under Paul’s name in Gambia was Dominion International Insurance Company. The idea, he said, was to create a captive insurer ⁠— an insurance company controlled by the insured. For larger companies, these are used to reduce costs by self-insuring a project while enjoying some tax breaks. But the IRS last year warned taxpayers about so-called micro-captive structures, popular with wealth planners and offshore services providers that “lack many of the attributes of genuine insurance.” Paul said his insurance company, referenced in the Swedish trust documents that he signed, was also never put into function. “Since we didn’t use the bank, we didn’t need that,” he said. BOLD CLAIMS Paul’s public profile isn’t — or wasn’t — completely accurate. In a LinkedIn page, he claims to have a Ph.D in education from American University. The school has no record of that. “My Ph.D is in street-ology,” he quipped when asked about the degree. Why was it on his LinkedIn profile? Someone else did the page for him, he said, “when you become the patriarch, things like that happen.” The LinkedIn references to a Ph.D in education and American University were subsequently removed. On his relationship with William Benson, Paul said he tapped Benson for his expertise and insight, well after the efforts had begun to expand church operations abroad. They were introduced through a friend working on a project involving Liberia, he said. Benson, 34, runs Billionaires Row, a champagne company that touts the high life. A seemingly strange bedfellow for an archbishop, Benson marketed a playboy image, boasted of his friendship with Hilton and associates say he claimed to have worked for Goldman Sachs. The investment bank hasno record of Benson having worked there. “We don’t have any involvement. I want to make that very clear. We don’t engage in any of those secular or non-humanitarian projects,” Paul said during a first interview together with Benson. Speaking of Benson, Paul added, “His primary role with the trust was to offer his expertise and help us obtain the necessary funding.” Funding that apparently did not happen, for use in offshore vehicles that were never actually used. In a subsequent interview without Benson, Paul acknowledged that he was aware of complaints against Benson. “We found that he didn’t work for Goldman Sachs. We found [that] he did not have the knowledge that he professed,” Paul said, adding that “we were the cleanest vehicle for him to attach himself.” ENTER FLO RIDA Flo Rida attorney Reginald Mathis confirmed that in November 2014 Benson and his Billionaires Row offered a deal. An ex-business associate familiar with the deal said it involved Flo Rida mentioning the imported champagne in a song and doing a promotional tour. “Things just never seemed to check out,” said Mathis, adding that, “he tried to put something together in 2015 with the Super Bowl, which never materialized. Flo advised that he was given product at some point, but he hasn’t had contact with Benson in years.” In an interview, Benson denied ever having extended a contract offer to Flo Rida or any other celebrity. “We don’t need any artist to do a song. We have many celebrities that promote the brand for free,” he said, adding that no celebrity “has invested a dime in the company.” The archbishop said he’d never heard of Flo Rida, whose real name is Tramar Lacel Dillard. The pitch to Flo Rida came before Benson got involved with Dominion. Paul said that he was unaware of Benson’s actions or his alleged outside sales pitches on behalf of Dominion to would-be investors. But on July 17, the website www.bankdominion.com issued a warning that Benson had no authority to “represent or bind” Dominion Bank and Trust, Ltd. “William Benson does not have authority to enter into contracts that bind the Dominion Bank and Trust, Ltd or create obligations on the part of the Dominion Bank and Trust, Ltd. without final approval of our compliance department,” read a notice on the home page. That page today is password protected. Benson said in the interview that it was he who ended ties with Paul after first getting offered the job of CEO of Dominion Bank. “I saw things that I didn’t want to be part of, so I stepped back,” he said, noting he broke with the archbishop last April or May. He declined to discuss what he saw that was worrisome and added he worked with Paul just for eight months and after the offshore entities were created. He also denied saying he worked at Goldman Sachs, noting he had worked at a division that was purchased by the giant bank. Several people claim Benson ripped them off. “He took $15,000 from me promising he could provide a lot of funding,” said Joseph Clarke, a real-estate investor and entrepreneur in Louisville, Kentucky, who hoped to develop a beachfront project in Honduras and mostly got a website and press release out of the effort. That money, which he said disappeared in 2014, was part of a wrongful death settlement after the death of his son, Clarke said. “It really left a bad taste in my mouth,” he said, adding, “I really wanted to see him fry.” Benson denied anything improper, saying that “I sent him an invoice and he paid it. I don’t work for free.” Jeremiah Patterson was stationed at Patrick Air Force Base near Cocoa Beach, Florida, when he was approached by Benson in 2013, who offered to invest in his prototype touch-screen technology. “He made it sound like he was a big tycoon,” said Patterson, noting that “he did mention offshore accounting and how he was looking to be part of an international banking corporation.” Patterson gave him a stake in the company, Taptl , in exchange for marketing and fundraising, and gave him a corporate American Express card. Soon afterward, Benson ran up the bills, he said, failing to even pay the card’s initiation fee. “I didn’t end up losing as much money as some other folks but it did set my business back by a year and a half,” said Patterson, now stationed in Georgia. “Keep in mind, I am a psychological specialist for the Air Force. I put him through the ringers and he had me convinced. That’s not an easy thing to do.” Benson denied running up credit card bills and provided an October 2014 Ohio court injunction against Patterson that prevented further disparagement. Patterson said his start-up couldn’t afford to appeal. A South Florida man who fell out with Benson shared a 15-page application for a corporate account with Bank Dominion and an unsigned letter of credit from Dominion Global, with its London address, promising $1.5 million with a lending rate of 4 percent . The man recalled briefly being introduced by phone to the archbishop in the middle of 2018, something Paul steadfastly denied. “He hopped on one call, said ‘hi’ for a moment,’ he said. “When they said archbishop, I assumed they meant the Catholic Church.” Emails viewed by McClatchy and the Herald show a New York FBI agent was made aware last summer of several complaints about Benson. An FBI spokesman in New York City declined to comment. Told about that, Benson provided what he said was a video of a recently videotaped conversation with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley at the United Nations, and said it showed he was not under a legal cloud. To view the original article, click here.

Edward H. Davis Jr. and Nyana Miller describe wealth managers hiding marital assets offshore and how asset recovery lawyers pierce trusts and companies in divorce. Marital Asset Recovery: ‘Wealth Managers’ Assist Unscrupulous Men in Defrauding Their Wives Open Legal Insights Open January 24, 2018 4 minutes read Sequor Law Wealthy men are cheating on their wives—with their accountants and lawyers. They carry on these affairs in exotic locales known for banking secrecy and regulations that make it possible to hide billions of dollars in marital assets. By Edward H. Davis Jr. and Nyana Miller Wealthy men are cheating on their wives—with their accountants and lawyers. They carry on these affairs in exotic locales known for banking secrecy and regulations that make it possible to hide billions of dollars in marital assets. Even the most financially sophisticated wives and their divorce lawyers are often unable to keep up with the growing asset protection industry and the ruthless men to whom they cater. Combating this trend, divorce lawyers and defrauded ex-wives have turned to lawyers who specialize in piercing the opaque world of offshore companies and trusts to recover assets from high net worth individuals and those who assist them. The release of the “Panama Papers” and “Paradise Papers” exposed much of the “wealth management” industry and its clientele as co-conspirators in a high-stakes shell game to conceal trillions of dollars of assets from taxing authorities, corrupted government regimes, creditors and, increasingly, the clients’ own spouses. In “Capital Without Borders: Wealth Managers and the One Percent,” Brooke Harrington notes that “through wealth managers’ skillful use of tools such as trusts, foundations and corporations, the game of ‘now you see it, now you don’t’ can go on almost indefinitely …” Many firms now advertise “pre-divorce planning” services designed to transfer assets out of a spouse’s reach. These schemes may place marital assets into offshore companies and trusts in which the divorcing wife receives a one-half ownership interest, but no right to distributions. Then, while the ex-husband is drawing “consulting fees,” his ex-wife is handed a large year-end tax liability with no ability to pay it. The scheme concludes when the ex-husband disingenuously offers to buy the company interest back and pay the taxes—all at a fraction of what his ex-wife was entitled to receive. In these divorce cases, trusts, companies and other entities maintained by the husband to hold assets should be primary subjects of inquiry. Legitimate estate and tax planning does exist and most practitioners in the field are honest brokers of a vital service. However, for the unscrupulous, “estate planning” is but a euphemism to describe asset concealment to defraud unsuspecting wives and others. Once the seeds of marital discord have been sown, if the wife has not been involved in these transactions or communications, it is more than likely that the husband enlists the wealth management professionals to divest his wife from marital property. Divorce counsel should therefore explore the husband’s accounting and legal engagements, however brief or seemingly minor. Individuals Enlisted in the Schemes Are Often Key to Successful Settlements Men who engage in these schemes often fit a standard profile—narcissistic, with an inflated sense of self-importance and a complete lack of empathy. They are often highly intelligent and believe passionately that they are doing nothing wrong. They do not fight over money, for there is more than enough marital wealth for everyone to live comfortably. They engage in protracted litigation to exercise power over and to punish their ex-wives, to exert control over their children and to secure loyalty from their family members. However, because their schemes require trusted individuals to act as nominees for entities or accounts, these men often enlist friends and family members to carry out their asset concealment activities. One such husband pursued refused to pay child support and to satisfy a judgment for property division for millions of dollars. He was pursued through two jurisdictions before he settled abroad where his conduct was essentially legally condoned. He showered his children with lavish gifts, and insisted that they come to visit him before he would pay for educational expenses and even regular dental cleanings. He threatened to miss college graduations and other milestones in his children’s lives before he would pay his ex-wife as ordered by the court. He was confident that he and his family had squirreled away the marital wealth in an impenetrable offshore structure. However, by bringing claims against those that facilitated the scheme, which brought these seemingly more rational actors to the bargaining table, a significant global settlement was obtained. The bottom line is that the world does not end at a country’s borders. There are methods of pursuing offshore assets that are focused on flipping the leverage of the seemingly impenetrable offshore structure and forcing participants in the scheme to essentially “buy the judgment.” Divorce lawyers should reach out to networks of specialized asset recovery lawyers for assistance in navigating the underworld of global asset protection schemes.

The Eleventh Circuit rules that § 109 eligibility requirements don't apply to Chapter 15 debtors, enabling US recognition of foreign insolvency proceedings regardless of US ties. Win for Sequor Law. 11th Circuit Appeal News Open Case Results Open April 4, 2024 1 minute read Sequor Law NEWS ALERT : Is a foreign debtor in a Chapter 15 case subject to the eligibility requirements for a debtor under 11 U.S.C. § 109? In an important decision, the Eleventh Circuit held that those eligibility requirements—requiring a person to reside, or have a domicile, a place of business, or property in the United States to be a debtor—do not apply to a debtor in a Chapter 15 case. This ruling is of particular importance in the field of cross border insolvency as it permits the recognition of foreign insolvency proceedings in the United States irrespective of the foreign debtor’s ties with the United States. In asset recovery cases, recognition unlocks valuable tools to trace and recover assets, which tools remain available to foreign insolvency practitioners under this decision.

Led by a former ICC FraudNet Executive Director. Multi-jurisdictional fraud investigations and asset recovery across the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe Financial Fraud Sequor Law frequently coordinates multi-jurisdictional investigations and asset recovery efforts with legal, forensic and investigative experts in the United States and other global jurisdictions, leveraging our leadership in the International Chamber of Commerce’s (ICC) FraudNet. Strategic Legal Responses to Complex Financial Fraud Schemes Individuals, businesses, institutions, governments, and government instrumentalities are victimized by financial fraud every day. The losses are staggering, and the effects are often devastating. No one, regardless of sophistication, is fully immune. When faced with financial fraud, victims must decide whether to act to redress the harm and hold the fraudster and the fraudster’s facilitators accountable. Inaction benefits only the wrongdoer and makes the loss permanent. Sequor Law has built a financial fraud practice focused on helping victims investigate misconduct and pursue effective legal strategies and claims against fraudsters of every kind. Sequor Law’s financial fraud team frequently leads and coordinates multi-jurisdictional investigations and asset recovery efforts with legal, forensic, and investigative professionals across the Caribbean, Central and South America, Canada, Europe, and Asia. With expertise in finance and accounting and fluency in multiple languages, the team analyzes global evidence in real time and drives cases forward as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. The firm also maintains tested relationships with third-party litigation funders that can help victims prosecute financial fraud claims against well-funded adversaries. Real-Time Global Intelligence Across Languages and Legal Systems Rapid Global Deployment Through the World's Premier Fraud Network Sequor Law leverages its leadership role in the ICC’s FraudNet, the premier financial fraud and asset recovery network in the world. Through this network, whether the fraud’s nexus and the ultimate destination of misappropriated assets are in the United States or elsewhere, the firm can mobilize a truly global response.

Litigating Cross-Border Disputes Across Federal and State Courts In the United States, Sequor Law appears regularly in federal, state, and appellate courts nationwide. The firm has extensive experience with doctrines central to international litigation, including forum non conveniens, personal jurisdiction, conflicts of law, sovereign immunity, and international treaties. Its attorneys have handled disputes involving breach of contract, fraud, tortious interference, investment disputes, distributorship disputes, breach of fiduciary duty, conspiracy, and other complex commercial claims arising under U.S. and foreign law. Sequor Law is also highly experienced in assisting foreign counsel and international clients in obtaining evidence in the United States under 28 U.S.C. § 1782 and other similar procedural mechanisms. These tools are often critical in building cases pending in foreign jurisdictions and form a core component of the firm’s cross-border litigation strategy.

Tracing concealed and undervalued assets in high-net-worth matrimonial and commercial disputes. Forensic accounting, global investigators, and litigation funding support. High-Net-Worth Disputes The Sequor Law team is equipped with sophisticated investigative tools and access to a global network of investigators, accountants, and international lawyers experienced in identifying assets that were not disclosed or were grossly undervalued in matrimonial, inheritance, and other family matters. Sequor Law not only finds these assets, but works to recover concealed personal wealth for its clients. Recovering What Was Hidden: Complex Asset Tracing in High-Net-Worth Disputes High-net-worth individuals often hide assets from their spouses, particularly when anticipating divorce. Similarly, family members in control of inherited property may seek to hide it from rightful heirs. These assets are frequently placed in complex corporate structures, offshore holdings, trusts, and similar vehicles designed to keep them out of reach. Where an aggrieved spouse or heir has been left with litigation fatigue and limited resources to fund recovery efforts, Sequor Law works closely with litigation funders experienced in identifying and financing matters with strong recovery potential. Experienced family law attorneys understand that asset disclosure fraud is common in high-net-worth divorce matters. That is why Board-Certified Marital and Family Law attorneys, members of the International Academy of Family Lawyers, and members of the American College of Trial Lawyers frequently co-counsel with and refer asset investigation and recovery matters to Sequor Law.

Sequor Law's Leyza B. Florin, the first Hispanic chair of the Florida Bar's Business Law Section, focuses on COVID-19 recovery and strengthening the Section's Diversity Fellowship Program. Business Law Section Strengthens its Diversity Fellowship Program Open Firm News Open June 25, 2020 2 minutes read Sequor Law The Business Law Section, one of the Bar’s largest, is marking a 50th anniversary by focusing on COVID-19 recovery — and strengthening a Diversity Fellowship Program, said newly installed Chair Leyza B. Florin . “It’s helping feed the pipeline of leadership of the section, and it’s helping us really develop greater diversity,” Florin said. “And it’s really come full circle, to serve as chair at a time when, obviously, issues of social justice and equality are so important.” A shareholder at Sequor Law who specializes in bankruptcy, asset recovery, and cross-border insolvency, Florin is a former chair of the Bankruptcy/UCC Committee. Florin said she was drawn to the committee that oversees the Diversity Fellowship Program when she started climbing the leadership ladder years ago. “I understand that I am the first Hispanic chair of the Business Law Section, for starters,” she said. “I am obviously a minority, female Hispanic, and certainly underrepresented in the area where I practice.” Immediate past Chair Jacob “Jay” Brown recently announced the eight newest members of the Fellowship Program, who must be 36 or younger or have been Bar members for less than 10 years. Fellowship Program participants are assigned a social mentor and a substantive mentor and are given a $2,500 stipend for two years. The stipend has been increased this year by more than $700, Brown said. When they aren’t attending meetings, program participants, among other things, help with membership recruitment, organize section events, and write white papers for legislative positions. “It doesn’t work out all of the time, certainly there are some people who come in and either don’t take advantage of the fellowship, or they use it, and we don’t hear from them again,” Brown said. “But we have a number of them who are remaining active and that are taking not just leadership positions, but high-level leadership positions.” This year, Brown named two former Fellowship Program participants Outstanding Members of the Year — Giacomo Bossa, managing partner with Morris and Associates, in Doral, and Michelle Suarez, partner and founder of Florida Entrepreneur Law, P.A., of Ft. Lauderdale. Bossa now serves as incoming chair of the Business Litigation Committee, one of the section’s largest, Florin said. Suarez is second vice chair of the Corporations Committee and the new chair of the Inclusion/Mentoring/Fellowships Committee, Florin said. Florin said a number of Fellowship Program members are now serving as “second vice chairs” of section committees. “In two years, we’re probably going to have the most diverse slate I have ever seen of any year of the section,” she said. “All but two of my appointees were female, so it’s pretty exciting.” Click here to read the original article .
