About Alec Smith
Some lawyers treat trial as a last resort. For Alec Smith, it is the plan. He prepares every case to be tried, and he has taken a variety of business disputes all the way to verdict.
Alec represents companies, owners, and investors in the fights that threaten what they built: partnership and shareholder breakups, broken contracts, stolen trade secrets, and other commercial disputes in state and federal court.
Before law, Alec worked in high finance: multibillion-dollar loan syndicates at one of the world’s largest investment banks, then nine-figure project budgets at one of the largest cruise lines. Business disputes usually come down to money. Alec reads balance sheets, valuations, and damages models like a second language.
He came to Koon & Pipes from a Miami corporate boutique, where he litigated complex corporate and commercial cases. His approach has not changed: know the business, know the numbers, and be ready for trial.
