Sequor’s Insights on International Anti-Bribery Legislation

Take a few minutes to read Templeton N. Timothy and Christopher A. Noel’s article for The Florida Bar's International Law Quarterly that examines recent legislation that criminalizes the demand-side of international bribery and extortion. 

Christopher A. Noel Co-Chairs Successful Drive

We are proud of Christopher A. Noel for his involvement in the Legal Services of Greater Miami’s Young Professional Council’s Associates Drive. As Co-Chair, Christopher and his team raised $24,305 from 162 donors to bring equal justice to our local community. Another kudos to Jennifer Mosquera who also participated as a Team Captain.

Courtroom Successes

Sequor Law partner Daniel M. Coyle, with assistance from Daniel J. Halperin and Joseph Rome, secured a significant win before Judge Delano last month when she gave her oral ruling in Gaby Fraifer’s bankruptcy case on Sequor’s client DISH Network L.L.C.'s second renewed motion to dismiss or convert, and objection to the confirmation of the Third Amended Plan.

The debtor violated DISH’s copyright by selling what the laity would call 'black boxes' with apps that broadcast Arabic language television through content delivery networks, boosting the quality of the signal with encoders. DISH obtained a judgment in the Middle District of Florida supported by a memorandum opinion detailing the factual findings supporting the judgment of direct copyright infringement.

ATTORNEY SPOTLIGHT

Get to Know Arnoldo “Arnie” Lacayo

1. What inspired you to pursue a law career? My experience as an immigrant to this great country inspired me to pursue a legal career. More specifically, I was inspired by an experience I had in college volunteering as an interpreter at an immigration law clinic which provided free legal services to recently arrived migrants. I was also inspired by one of my great-grandfathers on my mother's side who died at a young age but had served as a lawyer and judge of distinction in my native Nicaragua and used his legal training to argue for the independence and sovereignty of Nicaragua.

2. Why did you choose the areas of law that you practice? I have always been interested in international and cross-border issues. I explored this interest in law school and in my first job as a lawyer. When I had the opportunity to join this firm (then known as Astigarraga Davis), I knew it was one of the city’s premier international firms. The chance to work on international and cross-border cases on behalf of victims of fraud was a challenge that I was thrilled to take on.
