William B. Lewis

btg4

William is co-managing partner of the Morgan & Morgan Business Trial Group and manages the Firm’s West Palm Beach office.  His practice is dedicated to complex business litigation and he has successfully represented clients in a wide-variety of industries and disputes.

William litigates business cases on a contingency-fee basis, representing companies and individuals with meritorious claims that have been damaged due to the misconduct of larger, wealthier, or insured parties.  He is driven by the philosophy that justice requires cases to be decided on the merits, not by the size of a corporation or insurance company’s legal budget.

William has been named by U.S. News & World Report as one of The Best Lawyers in commercial litigation and professional malpractice.  He has been honored as Florida Trend Magazine’s Florida’s “Legal Elite”; Florida Super Lawyers “Rising Star”; Palm Beach Illustrated’s “Top Lawyers”; and South Florida Business Journal’s 40 Under 40.

The true measure of his success, however, has been the results he has achieved for his clients. William is a proven trial lawyer, having won multiple jury trials, bench trials, and arbitrations in cases involving contracts, employment, partnerships, real estate, and securities, among others.  He has also recovered millions of dollars through settlements in state and federal courts, as well as arbitration forums, throughout Florida.

William is the President-Elect of the University of Florida Law Alumni Council.  He has been appointed to multiple terms on the Florida Bar’s Committee on Professionalism, and has been the chair of the Palm Beach County Bar’s Circuit Court Civil Committee and  Business Litigation Committee. William is a frequent speaker on issues involving business and securities litigation, including to groups such as the American Bar Association and the Florida Justice Association.

Prior to joining the Business Trial Group, William prosecuted large-scale claims for a well-known securities and antitrust firm.  He also interned at the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office, where he first-chaired multiple jury trials.  Before becoming an attorney, William received an MBA in finance and securities analysis and worked at a hedge fund.
