Matthew Fornaro, P.A. was recently featured in CB Herald, a national business publication, for the firm’s unique approach to serving South Florida entrepreneurs and small business owners.
The article, written by journalist Joseph Wilson, profiles how Matthew Fornaro has built a business-first legal practice that serves entrepreneurs throughout Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade Counties — helping them navigate contracts, business formation, disputes, intellectual property, and commercial real estate matters across every stage of growth.
The piece highlights several defining aspects of the firm’s approach:
A Business-First Legal Philosophy
Clients come to Matthew Fornaro not just for technical legal analysis, but for practical guidance that aligns with their revenue goals, operational realities, and risk tolerance. The firm’s work spans the full lifecycle of a company — from early-stage entity selection and governance planning to vendor agreements, IP protection, and complex commercial litigation when it becomes necessary.
Jim Moran Institute Training
A defining influence on the firm came in 2020 when Matthew was accepted into the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship Small Business Executive Program at Florida State University. That experience reinforced a principle central to his practice: legal strategy should support the underlying business model, not operate in isolation from it.
Community and Mentorship
Matthew is a graduate and instructor of the Kaufman Foundation’s FastTrac NewVenture Program, through which he has guided entrepreneurs as they move from concept to launch and from launch to sustainable growth.
Credentials
Matthew Fornaro holds an AV-rated distinction through Martindale-Hubbell — the highest peer review rating available. He is a Florida Supreme Court Certified County Mediator, a Florida Supreme Court Qualified Arbitrator, and a FINRA Dispute Resolution Arbitrator.
