The Business Trial Group Of Morgan & Morgan, P.a.

What The Business Trial Group Of Morgan & Morgan, P.a. does

The Business Trial Group is a contingency-fee commercial litigation division of Morgan & Morgan, P.A., one of the largest personal injury plaintiffs' firms in the United States with over 700 lawyers and offices across all 50 states. The unit represents businesses, real estate professionals, homeowner and condo associations, and individual investors in complex commercial disputes including breach of contract, construction defects, employment and commission claims, professional malpractice (legal, accountant, and engineering), securities and stockbroker fraud, business torts, defamation, intellectual property, and probate and estate litigation. Unlike traditional corporate defense firms, every engagement is taken on a contingency basis — clients pay no upfront fees, retainers, or hourly billing, and the firm is compensated only as a percentage of any settlement or judgment recovered.

Revenue mechanics are entirely transaction-based: the firm's income is a contingent share of recoveries, which produces inherently lumpy cash flow tied to case outcomes. Case acquisition occurs through direct client intake (website, free case evaluations, multi-state phone lines), public relations around notable verdicts, and a formal attorney referral and co-counsel program under which referring lawyers receive a share of the contingency fee per state bar rules. Publicized verdicts range from approximately $840,000 (Sotheby's real estate commission jury verdict) to $14.5 million (verdict for a real estate developer), with the firm claiming a jury trial and arbitration win rate above 90%.

The practice is led by Co-Managing Partner William B. Lewis and includes specialized partners such as Roger C. Brown (Board Certified in construction law) and Amir A. Isaiah (Chair of the newly formed Restructuring, Insolvency, and Receivership practice). The firm holds no proprietary technology and discloses no AI, software platform, or automation tooling; competitive advantage is articulated entirely through legal expertise, trial-readiness, and the financial capacity to prosecute matters through verdict under the contingency-fee model. The Business Trial Group is not a separate legal entity but a trade name for the commercial litigation practice of Morgan & Morgan, P.A., a privately held professional association headquartered in West Palm Beach with a principal office in Miami.
