Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Silver.
Hi Michael, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I am a business litigator with Shutts & Bowen in Tampa, my lifelong hometown. I have a broad-based litigation practice that includes business litigation and appeals in state and federal courts, as well as various other forums. I have handled contract disputes; fraud and business tort lawsuits; shareholder and partnership contests; restrictive covenant and non-competition cases; real estate litigation, including commercial foreclosures and lender liability issues; insurance and bad faith claims; and the defense of professional liability and significant personal injury and property damage matters. I represent clients in numerous industries, including the automotive, aviation, construction, energy, financial services, health care, insurance, real estate, and securities businesses.
I am married (to another lawyer, no less) and we have one daughter.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
There are many obstacles and challenges in life. One recent challenge that comes to mind is starting my podcast, May I Inquire. I had been considering it for some time, and I had trouble getting started, as I kept thinking that everything needed to be perfect before I launched. Finally, I decided that I had waited long enough, and I just needed to record my first episode. Once I did, I realized that I was more ready than I thought. I have recorded more than a dozen episodes, and it has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Shutts & Bowen LLP?
