Harry A. Payton founded Payton & Associates and continues to lead its preeminent commercial litigation practice. A South Florida resident for most of his life, Mr. Payton represents various corporations, entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and small and mid-size businesses in business litigation matters ranging from contract disputes and business torts to real estate, construction, and bankruptcy adversary proceedings.

Through years of practice, he has achieved a level of skill recognized by the State of Florida - through board certification by The Florida Bar as a business litigation and civil trial specialist. He is widely recognized by his peers as a diligent, persistent, ethical litigator. Mr. Payton chaired the Business Litigation Certification Committee, which is responsible for screening applicants, preparing and grading exams for certification as a business litigator by The Florida Bar. Following his term on this committee, he was appointed to the Board of Legal Specialization and Education (BLSE), the body that supervises the entire certification program of The Florida Bar. He later chaired the Board of Legal Specialization and Education. He was recently appointed by the President of The Florida Bar to the Judicial Administration and Evaluation Committee.

Mr. Payton has been a leader in the effort by the American Bar Association Committee on Corporate Counsel to develop and promote a uniform system of billing and budgeting that serves as a platform for assessing the productivity and efficiency of outside counsel and law firms. He advocates for improvements in the way in which in-house counsel and corporate law departments manage their business litigation through his active role in the Law Department Consortium.
