Author:
William E. Curphey III - Curphey & Badger, P.A., Managing Partner
Bill Curphey started his own practice in 1999 after decades of litigation experience, including
work in the government sector for the U.S. Department of Labor, as in-house counsel at a
Fortune 200 company, and as a partner at a large law firm. Since then, he has watched the
practice grow to its present five offices.

Mr. Curphey has tried hundreds of cases over the course of his career. His experience
encompasses jury trials for corporate defendants and plaintiffs alike, in both federal and state
courts, in cases including complex business disputes, breach of contract including employment
contracts, covenants not to compete, sexual harassment, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the
Fair Labor Standards Act, and other employment-related matters. He has also successfully
handled numerous appeals.

In addition to his active litigation practice, Mr. Curphey also assists clients outside of the
courtroom, advising businesses on regulatory compliance, and responding to EEOC, OSHA and
other government investigations of the workplace. An accomplished and engaging speaker, he
has traveled around the United States and as far as India, the United Kingdom, and the
Philippines speaking on such topics as regulatory compliance, how to avoid employment
litigation, supervisory skills and negotiation. He has also served as an adjunct professor on labor
and employment law at Stetson College of Law and the University of South Florida Graduate
School of Business.

Mr. Curphey practices primarily in the areas of Labor and Employment, Civil Rights, and
Corporate Law & Litigation. He is admitted to practice by the Florida, Georgia and Ohio State
Bars, U.S. District Court for the Northern and Southern District of Ohio, United States District
Court for the Northern, Middle and Southern District of Florida, 6th Circuit Court of Appeals,
11th Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.
