Brant C. Hadaway

Partner

With a focus on international commercial disputes, Brant Hadaway has successfully handled several noteworthy cases for his varied international and domestic clients.

In 2008, he played a key role in winning a multimillion-dollar media-rights dispute for the Honduran Soccer Federation (Federacion Nacional Autonoma de Futbol de Honduras), a case that earned his Diaz Reus team a Daily Business Review nomination for Most Effective Lawyers in International Law. The decision will likely give other Latin American soccer leagues more leeway in breaking monopolistic control over their ability to sell media rights to their events.

Admitted to practice in Florida, the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court of England and Wales, Mr. Hadaway also focuses his practice on arbitration, deceptive trade practices and consumer fraud litigation, insurance coverage, employment law, international law, and maritime law.

Formerly in the motion picture and television industry, he holds degrees in criminology from Florida State University, motion picture production from the University of Southern California, and a Juris Doctor from the University of Miami, where he won top awards for legal writing and scholarship. He was previously associated with Mase & Lara, P.A., Miami.

His University of Miami Law Review article "Executive Privateers: A Discussion on Why the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act Will Not Significantly Reform the Practice of Forfeiture", has been cited in numerous articles and seminars on forfeiture and money-laundering.

Fluent in Czech.

Noteworthy:

  • Formerly worked in film and television in Los Angeles and Europe.
  • Cited for excellence in oral advocacy while at the University of Miami School of Law: won a national Burton Award for Legal Achievement (http://www.burtonawards.com/).
