Michael C. Addison, Partner/Shareholder

I have focused on commercial litigation and appellate work in the 34 years since completing a judicial clerkship in Miami.  My practice includes litigation involving contract disputes, employment agreements, commercial construction, securities, antitrust and intellectual property law, both in state and federal court, in Central Florida.  I conduct both jury and non-jury trials, including jury trials of patent and trademark matters.  I am Board Certified by The Florida Bar as a civil trial lawyer (1983) and a business litigation lawyer (1997).  My appellate practice includes appeals resulting from cases I handled in the lower courts, as well as matters referred by trial counsel for both state and federal courts.  From 1983 through 1985, I served as an Adjunct Professor in intellectual properties at Stetson University Law School, and have continued to lecture on business litigation topics for The Florida Bar, including restrictive covenants and securities matters.

My goal is to work toward a cost effective early resolution of a matter, while at the same time satisfying the needs of my client.
