Meet Sequor Law Attorney Jennifer Mosquera, an asset recovery specialist who discusses her passion for international law, her approach to complex cases, and her path to the legal profession. Attorney Spotlight: Jennifer Mosquera Open Attorney Spotlight Open September 25, 2023 2 minutes read Sequor Law What inspired you to pursue a law career? When I was in high school, I became heavily involved in mock trial, moot court, and debate. My senior year I had the honor of arguing before the Florida Supreme Court and winning the Florida State Moot Court Finals. Participating in these programs showed me all of the ways the law was dynamic and interesting, and it helped me realize that I wanted to be a lawyer. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? The most important skills I employ in my asset recovery practice are critical thinking and consistency. A lot of times, the best solutions require not only creativity, but additional follow through to make sure the desired results are achieved. Why did you choose those areas of law? I practice in the asset recovery space because I have an interest in international law and the challenges found therein. I enjoy keeping up with and learning about changes in the international law area, and thinking of the best ways to apply them to my practice. You are heavily involved in many industry organizations. What do you enjoy most about your memberships? I enjoy fostering relationships with other attorneys and business leaders, both in South Florida and around the world. Nurturing these connections means that I learn more and have a deeper understanding of others perspectives, which is critical to improving my practice. I especially enjoy when this leads to opportunities to give back to the broader community — for example, I am involved with the Legal Services of Greater Miami, which provides legal counsel to low income individuals in South Florida. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career? Judge Lynn Quimby-Pennock was one of the first mentors I had in the legal field and she mentored me throughout law school and beyond. While I was completing my studies, she and I would have lunch together at least once a month, where we would talk not only about the challenges of legal practices, but also issues of integrity and honesty. She taught me that to be a good lawyer you have to maintain good moral character both in and out of the courtroom. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? I’d likely work in something relating to paleography. I’ve always been interested in ancient manuscripts and rare books. What might people be surprised to learn about you? For many years, I made sculptures predominantly using clay as my preferred medium. Some of my pieces were showcased in local amateur art exhibitions. What is a good book you read recently or your favorite book? Wild by Cheryl Strayed is a recent favorite. I don’t typically favor memoirs, but this one really stuck with me.

Sequor Law adds former GrayRobinson shareholders Leyza Florin and Fernando Menendez to its Miami-based bankruptcy litigation practice, enhancing cross-border insolvency expertise. Sequor Law Picks Up Two Bankruptcy Attorneys From GrayRobinson Open Firm News Open June 11, 2018 2 minutes read Sequor Law By Rick Archer Miami, Florida - June 4, 2018 Sequor Law has added two former GrayRobinson PA shareholders, including one of the founding members of that firm’s Miami office, to its own Miami-based bankruptcy litigation practice, the firm has announced. In a statement released June 4, Sequor Law said new partners Leyza B. Florin and Fernando Menendez Jr. have experience dealing with complex and cross-border bankruptcy cases, which would be a particular asset to the firm. “The firm not only gains two outstanding lawyers with years of experience in insolvency, restructuring, and commercial litigation, but their bilingual and multicultural heritage will add to the growth of our market leadership in international asset recovery and cross-border insolvency,” Sequor Law founding shareholder Ed Davis said in the statement. Seven years ago Florin, a graduate of the University of Miami School of Law, was one of the founding shareholders of GrayRobinson’s Miami office. The statement said Florin has a wide range of litigation experience with a special emphasis on complex business bankruptcy and commercial litigation matters. She has extensive international bankruptcy experience, including with the Chapter 15 proceedings for Barbados-based British American Insurance Co., where she served as U.S. counsel for the court-appointed representatives from 11 different jurisdictions. She is also a Florida Supreme Court Certified Civil Mediator. Menendez, a New York University School of Law graduate, also spent seven years with GrayRobinson after starting his career at White & Case LLP. Menendez has worked on a broad range of business reorganization and restructuring matters as well as complex and contested bankruptcy issues, the statement said. According to his biography on the firm’s website, one major case Menendez has handled was representing the holders of more than $30 million in secured debt in the contested Chapter 11 of the owner of a large Miami real estate parcel. Both attorneys credited what they called Sequor’s focus on international business as their reason for joining the firm. “I think we were both concerned about widening the breadth of our international practice,” Menendez said in a phone interview Monday. “They’re already in these markets. I think we have the opportunity to expand our relationships overseas.” In the statement, Florin said they had both worked with a number of Sequor’s attorneys for years and had “long admired” the firm. “They have significant depth in the cross-border area,” Florin said in the phone interview. “They have a really deep bench.” Miami-based Sequor represents financial institutions, governments, and public and non-public companies in commercial litigation, financial fraud cases, and bankruptcies in the U.S. and internationally, according to the statement.

Meet Sequor Law Attorney Maria Jose Cortesi, who shares her journey into international litigation and asset recovery, her creative approach to complex cases, and her passion for the law. Attorney Spotlight: Maria Jose Cortesi Open Attorney Spotlight Open February 7, 2024 2 minutes read Sequor Law What inspired you to pursue a law career? I’ve been an avid reader my entire life, and I also like to think that I am creative. For me, a legal career just made sense, since a lot of what we do as lawyers is craft creative solutions for our clients, both based on prior precedent, or where relevant, by advocating for a change in the legal landscape. I liked the structure that laws bring to society, and I knew I would be challenged intellectually in my day-to-day. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice? I was drawn to my areas of practice because of the complexity and novelty of the issues we encounter. No two cases are the same, and that results in exposure to different jurisdictions, legal systems and people that allow me to learn new things every day. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? The first that come to mind are critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. We are often navigating uncharted waters, and that requires out-of-the box thinking to figure out how to address the issues we are presented. Communication is also a skill that I use every single day—we regularly work with lawyers in different jurisdictions as part of a robust cross-border legal team to handle matters, and coordinating efforts to achieve the best results is critical. What is the most rewarding part about your job? I think the most rewarding part of my job is knowing I am solving a problem for someone who may have thought the problem was insurmountable. It is also extremely rewarding, professionally, to be part of a team that is constantly at the forefront of legal developments, and to get to work and learn from attorneys who are the best in their fields. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. Before and during law school, I worked for an estate planning and probate lawyer, Tania. As her legal assistant, I worked closely with her and she taught me to take pride in my work product, even when I doubted myself sometimes. I took that into my time in law school, and now as an attorney. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? If I was not practicing law, I would be running an event planning company. I love putting together and hosting events where my guests enjoy themselves and walk away with good memories that they remember fondly. What might people be surprised to learn about you? I think it may surprise people that I have read the Harry Potter series in its entirety 4 times! There’s something so wonderful about being lost in a book, and Harry Potter will always have a spot in my heart for being the first series to do that for me. What is a good book or article you read recently? I recently read Atomic Habits by James Clear, which really has helped me shift my mindset about doing things that may seem “insignificant” or “not a big deal” and be more conscious about my actions.

Sequor Law's Leyza B. Florin, Chair of the Florida Bar's Business Law Section, leads an update to the Section's Pro Bono Best Practices Guide, highlighting attorneys' responsibility to serve. Business Law Section Updates Pro Bono Guide Open In the News Open August 7, 2020 4 minutes read Sequor Law If Spider-Man can do it, then so can the Business Law Section and other Florida lawyers. That’s the logic of section Chair Leyza B. Florin , explaining the section’s long-standing web of support for pro bono activities, just reinforced with the new revision of its Pro Bono Best Practices Guide. “It goes back to the Peter Parker principle, ‘with great power comes great responsibility,’” Florin said. But there are also hard numbers and practical reasons. The section’s mission is “to promote business-friendly initiatives” and pro bono falls squarely into that mission, she said, because studies have shown each dollar of civil legal services provided to low-income clients yields $7.19 of economic benefits. Carlos Sardi, chair of the section’s Pro Bono Committee, said the new guide covers the Supreme Court’s 2017 approval of Bar Rule 4-6.6, which addresses conflicts of interest affecting short-term pro bono representations. The Pro Bono Best Practices Guide has been posted for free on the Florida Business Law website . “One of the things that we’re trying to instill not only in our members but to all of our colleagues is there are tools out there that can help” in providing pro bono, Sardi said. “It’s a starting point for such efforts or to retool and rethink their pro bono policy to encourage their colleagues to do the right thing and provide pro bono services to the most-needy members of our community. “This tool provides the mechanisms all the way from intake to representation, even if it’s on a short term based on the safe harbor in Rule 4-6.6.” The updating is the first freshening of the guide since 2014, Sardi said, and was prompted in part by the Supreme Court’s adoption in 2017 of Bar Rule 4-6.6. “It provides a safe harbor for those who provide short-term, limited legal services [such as at a legal clinic]…for them to be able to provide services on a short term without being on the hook for representing a client,” he said. “We included that new rule into our guide basically for our members to be aware of the impact it has on your internal checking and intake mechanism that you use to run conflict searches.” According to a November 15, 2017, Bar News column by Assistant Ethics Counsel Hey-Yen Cam Bailey the rule “applies to lawyers who provide short-term limited legal services through a program sponsored by a nonprofit organization, court, government agency, bar association, or ABA-accredited law school. Although attorney-client relationships are still established through these programs, neither the lawyer nor client expect the relationship to last beyond that short-term representation. Under the rule, a lawyer participating in these programs will only be subject to Rules 4-1.7 and 4-1.9(a), conflict of interest rules regarding current and former clients, if the lawyer knows that the representation involves a conflict of interest.” The guide addresses intake, initial interviews, engagement letters, opening a file, deciding what is pro bono, the safe harbor in Rule 4-6.6, how pro bono credit is determined, using nonlawyer employees for pro bono cases, determining if costs will be charged, and dividing fees, costs, and awards that may come from a pro bono case. Also covered are having law firm staff dedicated to pro bono work to satisfy the guidelines in Rule 4-6.1(c) and getting such plans approved by circuit pro bono committees. Aside from presenting the considerations in outline form, there is also extensive commentary on important points and issues. Working with legal aid offices and pro bono circuit committees is important, Sardi said, because “you can always be more sensitive to the immediate pro bono needs in your community. “The pro bono needs may be completely different in northern Florida than in the southern part of our state. Obviously that connectivity with the local area is very important in setting your pro bono firm-wide policy.” Support for pro bono is in the DNA of the section, as shown by the handbook and other efforts. “I’ve been an active member of the Business Law Section since 2006. I don’t remember a time where the Pro Bono Committee was not present and pro bono services were not promoted,” Sardi said. “One of the missions of the Pro Bono Committee is to achieve 100% participation of our members. Last year, when we took on the task of reviewing how well we are doing, well over 60% of our members in one way or another provided pro bono services. It’s a work in progress but it’s a fantastic achievement by our members. We continue to promote our pro bono heroes and services.” Members may also take to heart Florin’s point that effective pro bono is good for the business community. She cited a 2016 study, Economic Impacts of Civil Legal Aid Organization in Florida conducted by The Resource for Great Programs, which found that in 2015 civil legal aid had garnered for Floridians $120.6 million in Social Security benefits, $70.7 million in Medicare and Medicaid payments, and $2.7 million in veterans benefits. That in turn boosted business income by $274.8 million, created 2,243 jobs and avoided $2.9 million in emergency shelter costs, $50.6 million in foreclosure costs, and $6.9 million in domestic violence costs. “Pro bono work provides a benefit to the Florida legal community that may not otherwise be available,” Florin said. “The members of our section have skills that are in short supply and in great need.” Click here to read the original article .

Get to know Sequor Law Attorney Miguel E. Del Rivero, who shares his passion for helping fraud victims, his global approach to asset recovery, and his path into international litigation. Attorney Spotlight – Get to Know Miguel E. Del Rivero Open Attorney Spotlight Open January 21, 2025 2 minutes read Sequor Law 1. What inspired you to pursue a law career? At my core, I have a passion for helping others, and at an early age I began to view the law as a powerful tool for doing so. I realized how daunting and intimidating the legal system can be, and I recognized the challenges individuals face when trying to advocate for themselves in such a complex and ever-evolving landscape. This inspired me to pursue a career as a resource for others—someone who can navigate the intricacies of the law with confidence. 2. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice? I was drawn to my practice area for a couple reasons. It gives me the chance to do work that truly matters, which is helping people who have been wronged, and helping them receive justice is deeply rewarding. Also, I love the global nature of the work. Collaborating with individuals and clients from all over the world is something I never imagined would be a part of my career, and it is an opportunity I’m incredibly grateful for. 3. What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas? An emphasis on diligence has always been a guiding principle in my work. I firmly believe that the harder you work, the luckier you become. This means approaching every problem with thoroughness and methodical precision. By staying consistent and meticulous, I ensure that every detail is considered, and every potential solution is explored. Through this, it not only enhances the quality of my work but also increases the likelihood of success. 4. What is the most rewarding part about your job? One of the most fulfilling parts of my job is knowing that the work I do has a positive impact. Whether it’s helping someone seek justice or resolving a complex issue affecting their life, I’m driven by the knowledge that my efforts have a tangible impact on people’s lives. It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning and pushes me to do my best. 5. Tell us about a mentor who made an impact on your career. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have had two fantastic mentors early in my career: the Judges for whom I clerked for. Both exemplified a strong work ethic, yet they were generous with their time and guidance to help me grow as a young lawyer. They shaped how I think about the law and the kind of lawyer I want to be. 6. If you weren’t practicing law, what would you be doing? If I hadn’t gone into law, I might have gone into accounting. 7. What might people be surprised to learn about you? It might surprise people to know that I used to compete in chess at a national level, winning several tournaments. 8. What is a good book or article you read recently? A book I always find myself returning to is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It’s one of those books no matter how many times you read it, you keep returning to it. I even keep a copy of it in my office.

Florida's Uniform Commercial Real Estate Receivership Act became law on July 1, 2020, with Sequor Law's Leyza B. Florin noting its critical importance amid COVID-19 economic fallout. Uniform Commercial Real Estate Receivership Act is now the Law in Florida Open In the News Open July 10, 2020 4 minutes read Sequor Law By Jim Ash The Uniform Commercial Real Estate Receivership Act became law July 1, marking a new era for Florida courts — and the culmination of four years of relentless diplomacy by the Business Law Section. Given the collateral damage COVID-19 has inflicted on the economy, the timing couldn’t be better, said BLS Executive Council Chair Leyza B. Florin . “It’s a big accomplishment,” Florin said. “Of course, this couldn’t have been anticipated, but with the economic fallout from COVID, and all the closures, the first thing that will be affected when people stop paying their rent is commercial real estate.” Florida is one of only nine states that have adopted UCRERA since 2017. Drafted in 2015 by the National Conference of Commissioners of Uniform State Laws, UCRERA creates a process for state courts to appoint a receiver in disputes that arise over commercial real estate, typically a default. Supporters say that once appointed by the court, a neutral receiver can manage an asset and prevent it from falling into disrepair. Florin offers the example of a waterfront restaurant that goes out of business and is forced to close. Without someone to keep the power on and the air conditioner humming, mold would soon take over, she said. Florida judges have the power to appoint receivers, but before UCRERA, there was no statute that addresses the process for commercial real estate disputes. Florin said the credit belongs to members of the Business Law Section Uniform Commercial Real Estate Receivership Act Task Force. Former Executive Council Chair Jon Polenberg created the taskforce in June 2016. He appointed Miami attorneys Kenneth Murena and Amanda Fernandez, both with Damian Valori, as co-chairs, and asked them to determine whether the proposal was right for Florida and whether the section should support it. From the beginning, UCRERA was a tough sell, even to task force members. “We’re dealing with people who represent both debtors and creditors in the Business Law Section, people who practice on both sides,” Fernandez said. “There was definitely a lot of push back.” “I’m not exaggerating, it took more than a year to build consensus,” Murena said. “We started with the people who were 50-50, and then we worked on the doubters.” Fernandez, who specializes in complex business litigation, is a former chair of the Business Litigation Committee. Murena, who is a federal court-appointed receiver and a receiver’s counsel, has been active in the Bankruptcy/UCC Committee. They worked on their respective constituencies. Murena considers himself one of the UCRERA’s biggest cheerleaders. Whenever the issue arose in one of his cases in state court, Murena said he found himself having to explain the process to judges and other litigants. “It was a lot of educating the parties and the judge on how the receivership should operate, the purpose of the receiver, the benefits of the receiver, and how the receiver can help the court administer the particular assets that were subject to the receivership,” he said. State courts would differ on whether or when to appoint a receiver, Murena said. “There is no well agreed upon body of law that governs receivership across the state of Florida,” he said. “I always thought it would be helpful because the case law in Florida, there is some development, but it is not necessarily so consistent across the state.” Finding consensus within the Business Law Section was only half of the battle, Murena said. The taskforce reached out the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section to deal with a host of their concerns, and made a presentation to the RPPTL’s annual conference. A RPPTL liaison was appointed to the taskforce. Some RPPTL members objected to the definition of certain exemptions to a “carve out” for real property, Murena said. Other critics opposed a provision that would have imposed an automatic stay. But the definitions were narrowed, and the automatic stay became permissive instead of mandatory, without weakening the thrust of the legislation, Murena said. “We added in a very specific provision saying this statute does not affect homestead, because that’s sacrosanct in Florida,” Murena said. “We wanted the RPPTLs to not only be okay with this, but to be behind it.” In addition to RPPTL support, the task force also worked with the Florida Bankers Association and the Florida Land and Title Association. The revised version also had to be reviewed by the Uniform Law Commission, which requested more changes, Murena said. Taskforce members say Rep. Mike Beltran, R-Valrico, was an enthusiastic and engaged sponsor. Beltran, an attorney, is a member of the Judiciary Committee. “I actually had a case, and this is a real problem,” Beltran said. “We had a commercial landlord, they went through multiple bankruptcies, they didn’t complete their bankruptcy plan, and they were pocketing the rent, and this bill prevents the debtor in possession from pocketing rents to the detriment of the landlord.” HB 783 and a companion, SB 660 by Sen. Lori Berman, D-Boynton Beach, passed both chambers unanimously. “There were an amazing amount of voices and interests that had to be heard, it’s definitely a step-by-step process,” Murena said. “To me, it was sort of like, where there’s a will there’s a way — you just have to be patient.” The Business Law Section is sponsoring a CLE, “Course 3922: Florida’s Commercial Real Estate Receivership Law Substantively Changes July 1, 2020, Are You Prepared?” on July 30. Featured panelists include U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Mindy Mora, of Florida’s Southern District, Second District Court of Appeal Judge Edward LaRose, Manuel Farach, and Kenneth Murena.
