Louis LaFontisee

Transactional counsel informed by three decades of enterprise technology experience.

Louis LaFontisee advises business owners and organizations on commercial transactions, contracts and the legal issues surrounding technology. His practice combines experience drafting and negotiating complex agreements with three decades of hands-on work designing, developing, implementing and supporting enterprise IT solutions.

That background informs his examination of the business and operational assumptions underlying a legal arrangement. In a technology transaction, the scope of a service, the division of implementation responsibilities and the ability to obtain continuing access may be as significant as the allocation of liability. In a commercial matter, the meaning of a contractual commitment often depends on how the parties intend to perform it.

Louis’s work addresses these considerations together, connecting legal analysis with the systems, information and relationships on which a client depends. His experience supports communication among management, technical professionals and service providers, particularly where contractual obligations intersect with cybersecurity, data privacy and operational risk.

The firm’s Business and Technology practices are complemented by counsel in Real Estate and Legacy. Property ownership, closely held business interests and succession arrangements often present related questions of authority, responsibility and continuity. The practice considers those connections in the context of the particular engagement.

Based in Coral Gables, Florida, LaFontisee Law approaches each matter through an understanding of the client’s objectives and the decisions required to advance them. The work emphasizes substantive analysis, careful drafting and clear advice on the obligations and choices presented by the engagement.
