Andrew M. Schwartz
Founding Shareholder and President
Andrew M. Schwartz is the founding shareholder and president of the Andrew M. Schwartz Legal Team, the Boca Raton business litigation firm he founded in 1994. Originally from Short Hills, New Jersey, Mr. Schwartz has practiced law in Florida since 1989 and has spent 37 years in litigation. His practice focuses on business divorce, partnership and LLC member disputes, shareholder disputes, corporate dissolution, and high-stakes contract litigation. Many of these cases involve business partners who are also family members, and disputes over money owed, distributions, or funds that cannot be accounted for.
Mr. Schwartz also represents clients in real estate litigation, including partition actions and title disputes where co-owners need to separate from a property, along with real estate transactions and landlord-tenant matters. He is experienced in obtaining temporary and permanent injunctions, including emergency relief to protect a client’s business interests and assets while a dispute is pending.
Clients come to Mr. Schwartz from throughout Palm Beach County and Broward County, as well as from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut when they have business or real estate interests in South Florida. Much of his work also comes through referrals from other attorneys. He serves as outside general counsel to businesses that want a litigator’s guidance on both litigation and transactional matters. He also represents clients in arbitration and mediation.
Mr. Schwartz received his undergraduate degree from Emory University in 1986 and his law degree from the University of Miami School of Law in 1989.
