Matthew Fornaro, P.A. was featured in TimeBusiness News in a piece covering the legal infrastructure South Florida entrepreneurs need to protect and scale their businesses.

The article focuses on how Matthew Fornaro works with startups and growing companies to build the legal foundation that prevents the most common and costly business mistakes — from entity selection and contract drafting to intellectual property protection and dispute resolution.
