From a one-on-one interview to moderating a panel of Miami’s business and financial leaders, Oscar Gomez shared his perspective on entrepreneurship, preventative legal counsel, and the litigation trends shaping South Florida.
Miami’s emergence as a hub for entrepreneurs, investment, and innovation has become one of the defining business stories in South Florida over the last few years and our Managing Partner Oscar Gomez has been part of that conversation twice this year through Capital Analytics Associates, the media and market intelligence company behind Invest: a series of regional reports and summits.
Mr. Gomez was a natural fit for both conversations. Born and raised in Miami, he has watched the city’s business landscape evolve firsthand, from a market long associated with real estate, construction, and healthcare to the entrepreneurial hub it has become over the last five to ten years. That perspective, paired with his work representing business owners through litigation, gave him a grounded, insider’s view of what is actually driving Miami’s growth.
The Interview: A Spotlight on Entrepreneurship and Business Litigation
On February 25, 2026, Capital Analytics Associates published a “Spotlight On” interview with Gomez as part of its Invest: Miami coverage. The conversation centered on EPGD’s entrepreneurial roots, common legal mistakes made by small and mid-sized businesses, the value of preventative legal counsel, and the trends driving a rise in business litigation across Miami.
Gomez was direct about how he sees legal spending: “Legal services is an investment in getting things right, so you don’t have to pay more later,” he said.
He also spoke to a shift he’s watched build for years: Miami, and Brickell in particular, has become a landing spot for entrepreneurs from around the country, drawn by the state’s business-friendly environment and a density of founders trying to build something. That growth, he noted, brings with it a corresponding rise in litigation, tied to rapid business formation, partnership disputes, and the increasing use of AI-generated contracts that aren’t truly tailored to a business’s needs.
The Panel: Scaling Success at Invest: Miami
Seven months later, on September 10, 2026, Gomez returned to the Invest: Miami stage, this time moderating “Scaling Success,” a panel session exploring what is driving Miami’s rise as a destination for investment and innovation, and how the region can sustain that growth. The panel discussed how our community can achieve sustainability and what the key indicators are.
The panel brought together a cross-section of Miami’s business and financial community, including Michael Cabanas, Regional Managing Director at Fiduciary Trust International; Pantelis Klonaris, Head of South Florida Business Banking at Valley Bank; Jeffrey Taraboulos, Managing Partner at KSDT; and Jaret Davis, Senior Vice President & Co-Managing Shareholder at Greenberg Traurig’s Miami office.
As moderator, Mr. Gomez brought a litigator’s perspective to a discussion largely built around banking, wealth management, and accounting, grounding the conversation in the legal realities that come with rapid business growth.
