EPGD Attorneys at Law, P.A.

Focus and practice areas

The firm works for companies and the people who own them, and it divides that work into three groups. The litigation group takes commercial and business disputes, partnership disputes, intellectual property claims, real estate and construction conflicts, employment matters, debt collection, franchise disputes, and arbitration. The corporate transactional group handles mergers and acquisitions, franchise law, real estate deals, trademarks, securities, and tax. A third group covers trusts, estates, probate, guardianship, asset protection, and family law.

Partnership disputes are the first item the litigation group names. In my opinion that placement says something useful about the firm's center of gravity, because much of its litigation grows out of how businesses are owned and run. The corporate group then adds cross-border work with Latin America, which pairs closely with its deal and trademark practice.

Franchise law appears in both the litigation and transactional groups, which tracks how franchising works day to day. One side drafts and reviews franchise agreements and registrations. The other handles the disputes that arise when a franchisor and a franchisee fall out. Trademarks run alongside this work, since a franchise system depends on a brand that stays protected.

How the work tends to move

A partnership dispute usually starts with the operating or partnership agreement, since that document sets out each owner's rights and the terms for leaving. From there a matter can move through demand letters and mediation, and on to a court filing when settlement talks stall. The firm's litigation and transactional groups cover both ends of that path, so a single owner conflict can be run as a lawsuit or closed as a negotiated buyout.

Mergers and acquisitions follow a different sequence. These deals generally run through a letter of intent, due diligence, and a purchase agreement that divides risk between buyer and seller. Trademark and franchise matters often attach to the same clients, because a company that buys or sells a business tends to own brands worth registering and defending.

Intellectual property litigation runs on its own track again. A trademark claim asks whether one mark is close enough to another to confuse customers, and the evidence tends to be side-by-side comparisons and proof of use in the market. These cases can end in a settlement that redraws how each side uses its brand, or in a court order. The firm listing both trademark registration and IP litigation means it can act before a conflict and during one.

The attorneys the firm names

Oscar Gomez is the Managing Partner and chairs the litigation practice group in Miami. Florida Trend named him to its 2026 Legal Elite Notable list for managing partners. That list comes from a peer and editorial process outside the firm, so it carries more independent weight than a line the firm writes about itself.

Jennifer Roldan is a Florida attorney at the firm. In one reported matter she negotiated a purchase agreement for a client's membership interest after the client had been left out of a company sale. A membership interest is an owner's stake in an LLC, and a dispute of this kind usually turns on the operating agreement and the value placed on that stake. The negotiated agreement is the document that fixes what the departing owner receives.

The managing partner role usually carries both a client caseload and responsibility for running the firm. Oscar Gomez holding that title and the litigation chair together suggests the person who leads disputes also helps set the firm's direction. Jennifer Roldan's matter shows the same litigation work at the client level.

The private-client side

The third group works on the personal side of the same clients' affairs. Probate moves an estate through a Florida court after a death, while guardianship and asset protection deal with people and property before that point. Family law covers domestic matters that can reach a business owner's assets, such as divorce and the division of marital property. Keeping these under one roof with the corporate work lets the firm handle both a client's company and that client's estate plan.

Asset protection and estate planning tend to matter most to the owners the firm already advises on the business side. A person who builds value in a company usually wants that value to pass on cleanly, and the same firm that set up the company can plan for it. That overlap is a practical reason to house corporate and private-client work together.

Languages, admissions, and reach

The firm states that its attorneys are admitted in more than one state, and its staff works in eight languages, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hebrew, and Italian. For a Miami firm with clients across Latin America, that range has a plain use in meetings and in reading documents in their original language.

The main office is in Miami. The firm keeps additional offices, available by appointment, in Washington, DC, New York City, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Bogotá, Colombia. It states that it serves clients in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. As a reviewer, I read the appointment offices as contact points for cross-border matters that connect back to the Miami base.

Cross-border work with Latin America runs through the corporate group's own description, and the Bogotá office supports it. Deals that cross a border carry extra steps, such as checking foreign ownership rules and coordinating documents in two languages. The firm's language range and its Colombian office line up with that kind of matter.

What a reader can verify

The firm publishes its Miami entity name, EPGD Attorneys at Law, P.A., and lists its practice groups and named attorneys on its own pages. The recognition for Oscar Gomez can be checked against the Florida Trend list, and Jennifer Roldan's Florida admission can be confirmed through the Florida Bar. Those are details a reader can test directly. On the evidence the site provides, EPGD Business Law is a Miami business and litigation firm with a corporate transactional arm and a stated Latin American reach.
