Biography

Biography

Founding Member Alan Kluger is a powerhouse trial attorney who advocates for his clients at all stages of the litigation process. Alan is a veteran courtroom lawyer who represents some of the nation’s largest businesses and most prominent individuals in their most challenging and complex cases.  He acts as a trusted advisor to his clients.

Many of his clients come to him after first facing him as an adversary and determining that Alan’s tough, no-nonsense litigation tactics, and creative, out-of-the-box thinking is what they need for their own disputes. Alan’s practice is guided by three key principles: thorough preparation, thoughtful strategy and mastery of the facts and the law. These are the reasons he consistently earns top rankings by peer-reviewed publications such as The Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA and Florida Super Lawyers.

As devoted as he is to his clients, Alan is equally passionate about his community. He and his wife, Retired Judge Amy Dean, created a private charitable foundation, the Dean-Kluger Charitable Foundation, which supports various local and national charitable organizations.

A devoted patron of the arts, Alan and his wife own an encyclopedic collection of Contemporary Latin American and emerging mid career African American art.

Alan is a member of the Board of Overseers of the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center; a trustee of the Miami Chamber of Commerce, a board member of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, a past president of Florida Hillel Council, and a former member of the Miami-Dade County Community Relations Board.
