I am John Dunham, and I represent boards of directors, chairmen, presidents, chief executive officers, corporate executives and corporate counsels of local, national and international public and private corporations and financial institutions doing business in Florida.

I have the support of additional attorneys whose multiple areas of expertise are relevant to servicing corporations.

I am committed to the following cornerstones of legal practice:

• DEVELOPING long-term confidential relationships with clients;

• DELIVERING pragmatic and innovative solutions;
• PRACTICING preventive law;
• BEING ACCESSIBLE to clients twenty-four hours a day;

As a lawyer, I am not only my clients' representative, I am also an advisor, advocate, negotiator, counselor, intermediary, problem solver, innovator and evaluator.
