Pedro Menocal
Pedro has spent over two decades becoming a trusted legal and business advisor to clients, big and small, from all over the world. He works in a number of areas, primarily corporate/M&A, venture capital, private equity, software and technology, media and entertainment, and healthcare.
Turning ideas into successful enterprises can be a tricky business. Venture capital investing and strategic partnerships are only ever successful if they are evaluated and structured correctly. For this reason, there is tremendous value for startups and emerging businesses to have sound legal advice at the earliest stages. This not only helps to protect his clients’ interests, but also facilitates scalability, growth, and innovation. The choices a client makes during the early stage of a business can have significant long term consequences.
To this end, Pedro builds sound legal structures and strategic relationships that ensure the growth and success of his clients’ business and investment ideas. He has represented a variety of investors, founders, and early stage businesses that are helping to make South Florida a center for entrepreneurship and innovation. He has developed successful strategies at every stage of a company’s growth, from inception all the way through to a sale or exit. That practical experience allowed Pedro to assume the role of General Counsel of Humantelligence (www.humantelligence.com), a well-known venture-backed company in the HR-tech space.
A number of Pedro’s clients own or have invested in a variety of healthcare related businesses. He works closely with them and their healthcare attorneys in order to structure deals in a way that ensures both financial growth and compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. Healthcare transactions have included the merger, acquisition, sale, and consolidation of primary care medical centers and networks, the structuring of joint venture agreements among a variety of providers, and the development of managed care networks in a variety of areas. Currently, Pedro’s clients have invested in and manage sleep centers, hospitals, and over 100 primary care physician practices throughout the country.
Pedro regularly negotiates agreements on behalf of actors, TV personalities, writers, artists, production companies, distributors, and not-for profit organizations in matters involving film, television, music, sports, and live entertainment. This work has led him to become an active board member of FilmGate Miami (www.filmgate.miami), a not-for-profit film organization that empowers actors, writers, and independent filmmakers in South Florida.
Pedro is also known as an active member in Miami's leading cultural institutions and regularly provides pro-bono legal services to a number of civic organizations. He has always believed that the best way to make a difference in the world is to be active in the community. Miami is a place where everything is new and if you decide to participate and be active, a person can really make a difference, can really make a positive, long-lasting impact.
He is the President of The Rhythm Foundation (www.rhythmfoundation.com), a Miami Beach-based non-profit that is one of the foremost presenters of international music in the United States. He oversees all of the Foundation’s major business transactions and regularly negotiates agreements with artists, venues, vendors, and local government.
