It has been just over a year since my colleagues and I returned from Cuba with the Florida Bar’s international law section. At that time in May 2015, we were hailed as the largest delegation of North American lawyers to visit the island nation since the 1959 revolution. We were pioneers. Our mission: to learn about the Cuban legal system in an effort to advise our clients about business opportunities in Cuba.

Our trip came just five months after President Barack Obama’s historic announcement in December 2014, which signaled a radical departure from the decades-old foreign policy that governed U.S.-Cuba relations, or lack thereof, since before I was born. As a result, we arrived on the island before foreign commercial interest reached the frenzied level now evident not only in Miami, but throughout the U.S. and around the world.
