Miami Wire spotlights Matthew Fornaro, P.A. as a leading business law attorney who has spent over two decades helping small and medium-sized businesses in South Florida navigate the complexities of the law. The feature highlights Matthew’s personalized approach to commercial litigation, contract work, and mentorship — and what sets him apart as a trusted legal partner for entrepreneurs across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties.
A Legal Advocate for Business Owners
Since founding his firm in 2015, Matthew has built his practice around the needs of business owners facing complex legal challenges. His work in contract dispute resolution and commercial litigation is designed to minimize disruption while protecting his clients’ interests. In construction law specifically, Matthew has represented clients in disputes involving general contractors, subcontractors, and project owners — navigating breaches of contract, construction delays, and quality-of-work claims with precision.
Beyond litigation, Matthew assists new business owners with written business plans, governing documents, and third-party contracts, and brings an intellectual property background to help founders protect intangible assets from day one.
Mentoring the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
Matthew’s commitment to mentorship is a defining thread throughout his career. As an instructor for the Kauffman Foundation’s FastTrac NewVenture Program and the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship Small Business Executive Program, he teaches aspiring entrepreneurs the foundational skills needed to build on solid legal ground — covering business formation documents, risk management, and legal compliance in a practical, approachable way.
Personalized Legal Services for Small Businesses
What distinguishes Matthew from larger firm attorneys, the Miami Wire feature notes, is his personal understanding of what it means to run a small business. As a business owner himself, he brings real-world perspective on cash flow, budgeting, and legal compliance — translating that experience into advice that goes beyond theory. His firm effectively functions as an extension of each client’s business, providing ongoing counsel and allowing owners to operate with confidence.
