Many businesses are experiencing the devastating effects of interruptions to their operations, most acutely from the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting government mandated business closures, stay-home orders, and other burdensome restrictions. Moreover, Florida businesses know all too well that hurricanes and other natural disasters often result in damaging business interruptions.

Our business disruption practices includes:
- Contract and Insurance Policy Audit and Review
