Meet Gus Suarez
Two disciplines. One trusted advisor.
Gus Suarez has been practicing law in the South Florida community since 1986 — bringing over 39 years of legal experience to every client engagement. His philosophy is straightforward: obtain results, and build lasting relationships. Because client satisfaction is the ultimate goal, Mr. Suarez provides personal attention to every matter his firm undertakes.
Mr. Suarez has deep experience representing medical providers across the full spectrum of healthcare — assisted living facilities, health care clinics, mental health centers, rehabilitation centers, diagnostic facilities, home health agencies, pharmacies, physicians, and physician groups. He regularly assists clients with the sale and purchase of medical businesses, Federal and State regulatory compliance, disciplinary and administrative proceedings, and the suspension or revocation of provider billing privileges.
On the business side, Mr. Suarez advises clients on contracts, leases, shareholder agreements, operating agreements, partnership agreements, entity formation, and mergers and acquisitions. Prior to founding Gus Suarez, P.A., he was a founding member of the health law firm Wilson, Suarez, Lopez & Gennett in Coral Gables, Florida.
Meet Kristian G. Suarez
Litigation depth. Healthcare focus.
Kristian G. Suarez is a junior partner of the firm, concentrating his practice in health care law — including facility licensing, transfers of ownership, employment contracts, representation of physicians and physician groups, and administrative proceedings.
Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Suarez was an associate at SMGQ Law, where he handled commercial litigation, labor and employment, life, health, disability and ERISA defense, and insurance coverage matters. He represented Fortune 500, midsize, and small companies in the defense of litigation matters including business torts, class action wage and overtime disputes, insurance coverage disputes, discrimination, retaliation, and banking disputes throughout Florida.
Mr. Suarez also advised and counseled employers on a wide range of matters including non-compete and trade secret issues, disability and harassment claims, FLSA collective actions, FMLA, and FDUTPA claims — experience that directly informs his healthcare employment and regulatory work today.
