Kelley Geraghty Price

Kelley represents clients in a wide variety of complex commercial litigation matters. She is board certified by the Florida Bar in Business Litigation and Civil Trial and concentrates her practice in commercial and business litigation, construction and real estate litigation, employment litigation, and trusts and estates litigation. Kelley represents individuals, corporate clients, family businesses, private companies, and professionals in a wide variety of matters including contract disputes, shareholder/partnership disputes, business torts, construction law, securities litigation, and employment law (representing employers only). In her employment litigation practice, Kelley represents employers in litigation and dispute resolution at the administrative agency level, as well as in court.

Kelley has litigated extensively in state and federal courts, handling matters across a broad spectrum of industries, including construction, banking, healthcare, manufacturing, broadcasting and media, real estate, and securities. The clients she serves include public and private companies, high net worth individuals, and family businesses. Kelley takes pride in her client relationships, many of which span decades, and works closely with clients and their businesses, not only in litigation but by providing practical and meaningful advice and counseling on a wide variety of legal issues.

While Kelley works with clients from a diverse array of industries, she is particularly focused on real estate and construction, frequently representing developers and contractors and reviewing or preparing construction contracts for projects that range from single family residences to massive commercial shopping centers.

Kelley’s natural habitat is the courtroom, and she has a deep passion for trying cases. She frequently represents clients in both bench and jury trials and—unusually for a Florida commercial litigator—has the high volume of jury trial experience necessary to qualify for the Florida Bar’s Certification in Civil Trial Law. Kelley is known for her excellent memory for facts and details, her gift for thinking on her feet, and her ease at relating to juries—an often-overlooked but significant element in trials. She has secured victories for clients in state and federal court and on appeal. Prior cases have led to clarification of the statute governing unlicensed contractors in Florida, a jury’s role in awarding damages in invasion of privacy claims, and a change in the definition of a “security” under Florida law.

A crucial part of the firm’s growing Southeast presence, Kelley’s practice is primarily Florida-based but stretches throughout the country. She often builds decades-long relationships with clients and seeks to understand their businesses and industries on a cellular level. Known as an aggressive advocate for clients’ interests, Kelley has built a stellar reputation for her in-depth knowledge of clients and their needs.
