Biography

Mr. Dunbar focuses his practice on governmental relations and legislative advocacy, commercial transactions and gaming. He has more than two decades of experience, and he advises a wide range of clients, with particular emphasis on businesses in highly regulated industries. Mr. Dunbar handles legal matters and provides lobbying representation for a multitude of regulated industries, including motor vehicle manufacturing and dealerships, gaming, tobacco, alcohol, healthcare services and providers, and medical cannabis.

At the trial and appellate levels, Mr. Dunbar is regularly engaged in litigating complex statutory and constitutional matters. He has more than two dozen reported appellate cases that he has won on behalf of clients in regulated professions. In addition to civil, administrative, and appellate litigation, Mr. Dunbar has been very active in assisting regulated entities and private equity firms in exploring and evaluating emerging opportunities in industries in which federal and state governments exercise high levels of oversight and law enforcement agencies focus their scrutiny. He is frequently asked by industry clients to draft proposed changes to complex rules and statutes affecting regulated professions in Florida and elsewhere.

Along with his work for regulated industries, Mr. Dunbar also practices ethics and elections law representing a host of statewide campaigns such as the campaign for Governor Ron DeSantis and the Republican Governors Association. He has served as a gubernatorial appointee to one of Florida's water management districts and presently is an appointee by Florida's Chief Financial Officer to the board of Citizens Property Insurance Company.

Furthermore, Mr. Dunbar has extensive private-sector experience outside of his legal practice. Among other examples, he has twice served in senior executive capacities for large, integrated gaming properties; qualified as an expert witness in a gaming-related administrative trial; founded and sold a gaming-related business; and regularly retained as a game-design consultant.

Mr. Dunbar is a member of the Board of Visitors for Florida State University College of Law, where he also serves as an adjunct professor.

Following law school, Mr. Dunbar worked for several years in the public sector. He was recognized for his exceptional legal work by Florida Tax Watch, and he was a recipient of the Davis Productivity Award, which honors state employees for exemplary service to Florida's taxpayers.
