About Us
Kurkin Forehand Brandes LLP, is a Florida law firm that focuses on contract law, franchise law, automobile dealer law and real estate law. The firm was formed in 2007 by Alex Kurkin and Marc Brandes, two highly experienced attorneys who have worked together for several years. John W. Forehand, a well regarded and experienced Tallahassee-based attorney, joined the firm in 2010.
The attorneys' body of work in their respective areas of concentration make them superlative legal counselors and strategists for a wide range of businesses and individuals. They have successfully represented scores of companies and automobile dealerships in complex commercial transactions, regulatory compliance issues, franchise law, government disputes, real estate matters, and general litigation.
The firm focuses on providing clients who operate in tightly regulated industries with the very highest level of legal counsel and representation. Our attorneys understand clients’ businesses. We maintain a very close eye on all of the compliance issues and potential liabilities that clients face in their day-to-day operations, which enables us to provide highly informed and comprehensive guidance and representation.
The attorneys of Kurkin Forehand Brandes take pride in helping clients to avoid legal issues before they become a business disruption. We counsel clients on how to avoid the pitfalls that can result in litigation, and when litigation is unavoidable, we offer extremely effective strategies to defend and minimize the litigation.
Our commitment to our clients extends well beyond normal business hours. Kurkin Forehand Brandes attorneys make themselves available to clients whenever legal questions arise, whether during weekends and holidays. Our schedule is whatever your schedule requires. When clients call with a question or issue regarding a potential transaction as it is taking place, we make every effort to quickly provide them with a definitive answer so that they may determine how to move forward based on the specific circumstances and issues at hand. Our focus is to take “legal” off of your radar and allow you to focus on what you do best.
As consumer credit issues and information privacy continue to drive regulatory changes in the automobile, real estate and other highly regulated industries, Kurkin Forehand Brandes will play an increasingly significant role as legal advisors and strategists for its clients.
