“A lot of entrepreneurs, they will feel much more confident that I understand the challenges that they’re facing because they know I’ve faced them, too,” Miami attorney Jane Muir said.
When Miami business litigator Jane Muir launched her own firm, it wasn’t the scenario she had d imagined.
As the 2009 mortgage foreclosure crisis did its worst, Muir lost the first job she’d landed after passing the bar just a year earlier. And she needed a quick Plan B.
“Why don’t you start your own firm?” a mentor, prominent South Florida medical malpractice attorney Tomas Gamba, told her.

So Muir took a leap of faith and joined forces with her law school trial partner, who had also lost his job, and Grinberg & Muir was born.
