An exclusive interview delves into his journey from Cuban roots to Miami courtrooms.
Miami, Florida May 27, 2025 – Roland Sanchez-Medina, Jr., a highly experienced legal expert and a well-known leader in Miami’s legal circles, is the subject of a new, exclusive online interview titled “Roland Sanchez-Medina: From Cuba to Courtrooms, a Legal Leader in Miami.” The piece provides an exclusive, in-depth look at the life and career of a man whose journey began in Cuba and who continues to influence the legal sector in South Florida.
In the interview, Sanchez-Medina speaks candidly about his early life in Miami, the impact of his upbringing as an immigrant, and the strong sense of responsibility that shaped his work ethic. He states, “Coming from an immigrant family, there was a lot of pride in working hard and doing things the right way.”
The article details his impressive academic career at Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, the University of Miami, Boston College Law School, and NYU School of Law, giving readers a thorough overview of the actions he took to become a respected attorney in the field of corporate law.
Sanchez-Medina started his career at Holland & Knight and later became a partner at McDermott, Will & Emery, where he oversaw significant transactions and advised international clients. His return to Miami marked the start of his current position as a partner at SMGQ Law, where he continues to concentrate on corporate transactions, cross-border structuring, and legal strategy.
He says in the interview, “I learned early that every comma, every clause matters. You’re not just writing words–you’re shaping deals, people’s futures.”
