He previously served on the Executive Council of the Florida Bar’s 1,100-member Alternative Dispute Resolution Section, where he chaired the Business, Employment and Real Estate Disputes Committee.

Aaron reviews and negotiates business contracts, from routine vendor agreements to complex commercial agreements. Before a client signs, he identifies the terms that create risk, invite disputes, or fail to reflect the deal actually negotiated, drawing on his litigation background to assess how a Florida court could interpret each agreement if disputed. Clients rely on Aaron to lead the negotiation of their most significant contracts.
