Based in the firm’s Miami office, Fausto boasts a reputable portfolio of clients that includes Fortune 500 companies, multinational corporations, and emerging to mid-sized businesses across a broad spectrum of industries, including hospitality, retail, tech, finance, pharmaceutical, and commercial real estate. His clients turn to him for his ability to manage complex disputes with sharp focus and efficiency, including managing domestic litigation matters throughout the United States and arbitration proceedings around the world. Fausto’s work in commercial litigation and international arbitration has earned him consistent recognition from leading legal directories, including Chambers USA, The Legal 500, and Best Lawyers in America. Martindale-Hubbel has rated him an AV-Preeminent Attorney, reflecting the highest possible peer-review rating for professional excellence and adherence to the highest ethical standards.
Fausto has extensive experience representing international clients navigating U.S.-based litigation, with a particular emphasis on clients from Latin America and Europe. He routinely represents foreign companies, executives, and entrepreneurs in complex, business-oriented lawsuits in U.S. courts. As a native Spanish speaker and Miami-born Cuban American, Fausto provides his international clients with a nuanced understanding of their legal, commercial, and cultural landscapes. This enables him to bridge legal and language barriers effectively and provide representation that is both strategically sound and uniquely tailored to the expectations and realities of international clients operating in the U.S. legal system.
Before entering private practice, Fausto served as an Assistant State Attorney in Florida’s Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, where he handled a wide range of criminal matters—from elaborate economic crimes to violent first-degree felonies. During his time in public service, Fausto conducted dozens of jury trials and fine-tuned his litigation skills, which he now applies to his complex commercial litigation practice. His successes during his time as a prosecutor led him to achieve Board Certification as a Criminal Trial Specialist in the State of Florida, as well as certification as an Anti-Money Laundering Specialist with ACAMS.
Outside of his practice, Fausto remains active in the legal community. He has served as Deputy Regional President and Member of the Board of Directors for Region VIII of the Hispanic National Bar Association and as Vice-Chair for the American Bar Association’s International Ethics Committee. Fausto is also an active member of NAMWOLF and is a frequent panelist and speaker on topics at the forefront of the legal practice, including ethics, international litigation, and trial strategy.
