What Barakat + Bossa does

Barakat + Bossa PLLC is a privately-held international business law firm headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, with additional offices in Miami and New York. Founded in 2004 and operating with 11-50 employees, the firm positions itself as combining Big Law experience with boutique attention and global reach, serving entrepreneurs, high-growth ventures, privately held companies, and multinational corporations. Its practice areas span Litigation + Dispute Resolution, Aviation, Real Estate, Corporate, Labor + Employment, Lifestyle, Government + Regulatory, Bankruptcy + Creditors' Rights, Factoring, and Emerging Technologies & Innovation, plus an internal Incubator Program for developing trial lawyers. The firm is co-led by Partners Brian Barakat and Giacomo Bossa, with additional partners Richard L. Richards (Aviation), Jocelyne Macelloni, and a multicultural team fluent in more than a dozen languages.

The firm generates revenue through professional services fees for high-stakes legal matters, including complex commercial disputes, fiduciary litigation, cross-border transactions, aviation matters, real estate disputes, and corporate advisory work. Pricing follows a quote-based engagement model typical of boutique law firms serving enterprise clients in high-stakes matters. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by industry recognition (Chambers USA, Legal 500, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent), professional reputation, referrals, thought leadership publishing, and active participation in professional associations such as FABA and the Coral Gables Bar Association. Distribution occurs through direct client engagement and professional network referrals, including international referrals via Alliott Global Alliance membership.

Recent strategic activity includes the September 2025 merger with Richards Legal Group, which established a dedicated Aviation Practice and expanded services for airlines, FBOs, MROs, and emerging UAS/eVTOL platforms. The firm is active across Florida, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, with documented international mandates such as recovering approximately $650,000 within one week for a Czech client in a medical business acquisition dispute. No proprietary technology, software products, or AI capabilities are disclosed; the firm operates as a traditional professional services practice.
