  • Bagatelle Miami River Introduces a New Waterfront Dining and Nightlife Concept for Miami

    Bagatelle is expanding its global footprint with a new Miami River location opening in November 2025, introducing a hybrid culinary and nightlife concept that reflects the brand’s shift toward immersive hospitality. Bagatelle Miami River blends elevated Mediterranean dining with the high-energy atmosphere that has defined the brand’s presence in destinations including Saint-Tropez, Mykonos, and Dubai. Courtesy of Ruben Pictures Positioned along the Miami River, the venue is part of a collaboration between Mandala Group and The Dirty Rabbit Group, reinforcing the area’s growing profile as a waterfront dining district. The indoor-outdoor space overlooks the river and Miami skyline, integrating views directly into the dining experience. Courtesy of Michael Pisarri The concept merges Bagatelle’s “House” and “Beach Club” environments into a single destination.

  • Why Eskape Collection Hotels Are the Best Places to Stay for Miami Art Week & Winter Travel

    As the winter season draws travelers to Miami’s warm shores and the city prepares for the global spotlight events such as Art Basel Miami Beach , many visitors will discover a perfect retreat with the Eskape Collection . Founded by architect and seasoned traveler Flavio Rossato , the company was born from a desire to create something he couldn’t find himself. “I was looking for a boutique hospitality management company, and I didn’t find one,” Rossato says. “So I decided to start my own, based on my experience as a traveler and as an architect.” What began with a single project in 2013 has grown into a trio of celebrated properties, known for their luminous interiors, functional comforts, and welcoming, residential feel. The collection now includes 1818 Meridian House , the ABAE Hotel , and 6080 Design Hotel . A Home for Art Lovers, Winter Sun Seekers, and Business Travelers Eskape’s hotels—designed for real living—are built to match the pace of Miami’s busiest season. Each property offers calm, inspiration, and workspace-friendly suites ideal for visitors and business travelers alike, delivering both comfort and style. Rossato explains the brand’s defining philosophy: “All rooms are designed as apartments… to offer a home away from home experience. I like guests to feel the spacious rooms, equipped with kitchen essentials, washer and dryer, balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, and other amenities or comforts.” Modern connectivity is also at the heart of the experience. “We prioritize connectivity by offering fiber optics and lightning-fast internet… and enhance interaction with guests through smartphone apps,” he says. Sustainability is equally important, reflected in the hotels’ energy-efficient certifications. 1818 Meridian House: The Ideal Base for Miami Art Week Located just steps from the Miami Beach Convention Center—the hub of Art Basel— 1818 Meridian House blends historic charm with modern tranquility. Built in 1956 and newly remodeled, the garden-lined boutique-apartment hotel immerses guests in serene, tropical surroundings before they even reach the lobby. The interiors, finished with crisp wood tones, sheer curtains, and playful nods to its mid-century roots, offer a peaceful counterpoint to the bustling art fairs. With Studios, Junior Suites, and Two-Bedroom Suites, the property is perfect for artists, collectors, families, or business travelers attending Miami Art Week events. And the location is unbeatable—two blocks from Lincoln Road, a short walk to the beach, and mere minutes from some of Art Week’s top venues. ABAE Hotel: Chic, Elevated, and Exceptionally Convenient ABAE Hotel , set on quiet West Avenue, offers a luxurious escape that balances privacy and access. The 45 one-bedroom and penthouse suites are modern, curated, and designed for long or short stays. The rooftop pool—complete with panoramic skyline views and underwater speakers—provides the perfect setting to recharge after a day of fairs or meetings. Inside each suite, guests enjoy full kitchenettes, rain showers, Missoni bath amenities, king bedrooms, high-speed internet, and washer–dryer units—features that appeal especially to business travelers or extended-stay guests. With Whole Foods just two blocks away and Joe & the Juice on the ground floor, day-to-day convenience is seamlessly integrated. 6080 Design Hotel: Contemporary Hotel Near the Beach and Bay The newest addition to the portfolio, the 6080 Design Hotel , extends the Eskape philosophy into a sleek, contemporary setting near both the Beach and the Bay. Designed from the traveler’s point of view, the hotel captures what Rossato calls “effortless living,” blending smart functionality with crisp, modern style. With 70 spacious suites, studios, one- and two-bedroom units, and penthouses, 6080 Design Hotel brings a refreshing, youthful personality to Miami Beach. Interiors are bright, thoughtfully laid out, and infused with the latest tech and luxurious amenities. Terraces open to calming views, creating a natural flow between indoor serenity and Miami’s coastal energy. Guests enjoy the same detail-driven comforts seen throughout the Eskape portfolio—fresh, fun-loving touches, efficient layouts, and an atmosphere designed to make every stay feel naturally easy. Whether visitors are here for Miami Art Week, an extended winter escape, or remote work by the beach, 6080 Design Hotel offers a versatile, uplifting place to settle in. Where Detail and Design Meet Comfort Rossato personally curated the interiors across all properties, earning recognition within the boutique hotel space. But he notes the ongoing effort behind the scenes:“Consistency with the company’s culture… the way we deliver the rooms, cleaning, details like welcome cards, smell, light ambience, music.” In Rossato’s own words, “We offer guests a home away from home, designed with care, comfort, and the modern traveler in mind.” By ML Staff.

  • Mergers & Acquisitions: Legal Insights for Strategic Growth

    In our exclusive conversation with Regina M. Campbell, Esq., founder and managing attorney of The Campbell Law Group (thecampbelllawgroup.com), we explore the critical legal insights that drive successful mergers and acquisitions — from due diligence and deal structuring to employee retention and Florida-specific regulations. Photo by Radission US, Unsplash What are the key legal considerations during the due diligence process in a merger or acquisition? Due diligence is about uncovering risks before they become costly surprises. At its core, it’s an investigative process. We examine the company’s financial health, contracts, liabilities, intellectual property, compliance record, and any pending or potential litigation. But effective due diligence isn’t just checking boxes or reviewing documents in isolation. Each contract, statement, or disclosure is a piece of a larger puzzle that reveals how the company really operates, its operational costs, funding of those costs, actual profitability, how it treats its stakeholders, and whether it’s positioned for sustainable growth. We look for gaps between what’s presented on paper and what’s happening in practice on the ground. Those gaps often become the flashpoints for disputes later on, as well as unanticipated risk and cost to the acquisition of the company, which were not likely considered previously. By connecting the dots, we can provide our clients with a clear view of both the opportunities and the risks, and, more importantly, how these factors will shape the future of the combined business. How does The Campbell Law Group ensure that clients’ interests are protected during the negotiation of terms in M&A deals? We focus on clarity and precision in drafting because the fine print is often where future problems arise. Negotiations can be fast-paced and complex, and it’s easy for critical details to get overlooked in the excitement of closing a deal. Our role is to anticipate risks before they surface, structure protections that withstand scrutiny, and ensure our clients don’t inherit hidden liabilities. This involves carefully reviewing representations and warranties, indemnification provisions, and dispute resolution mechanisms, while also considering the broader strategy. Ultimately, we strike a balance between advancing the deal and safeguarding what matters most, whether that’s ownership rights, governance structures, intellectual property, or financial exposure. It’s about creating a foundation that allows the newly combined business to thrive without unnecessary legal complications down the road. Can you describe a recent successful merger or acquisition your firm handled, and what challenges you helped overcome? We recently guided a Florida-based company through an acquisition where the seller’s financial disclosures raised several red flags. On the surface, the numbers looked solid, but our team’s due diligence uncovered inconsistencies between reported revenue and actual cash flow, as well as obligations that hadn’t been fully disclosed. By identifying these issues early, we were able to bring them into the negotiation process and secure key concessions, including a renegotiated purchase price and stronger indemnification provisions to protect against undisclosed liabilities. The deal still went forward, but on terms that protected our client’s investment and significantly reduced their exposure to risk. For us, it was a clear example of why thorough due diligence and careful legal structuring matter: what you uncover before signing can change the entire trajectory of a transaction. What are some common legal pitfalls in the M&A process, and how can businesses avoid them? Rushing through due diligence, overlooking cultural and operational fit, and failing to plan for post-deal integration are some of the most common pitfalls we see in M&A. A deal might look great on paper, but if liabilities are missed, teams don’t align, or integration costs spiral out of control, the value of the transaction can quickly erode. Too often, businesses get caught up in the excitement of the opportunity and underestimate the time and detail required to truly evaluate the risks. The best way to avoid these mistakes is to engage experienced counsel early in the process, ask the difficult questions, and take a comprehensive approach that looks beyond financials. Legal, financial, and human elements all need to work together. That means reviewing everything from contracts and compliance records to leadership structures and employee incentives. When businesses approach M&A with patience and thoroughness, they’re far more likely to achieve the strategic growth they envisioned rather than costly surprises after the fact. What strategies do you recommend for handling employee retention and restructuring in the wake of an M&A? Clear communication and well-drafted employment agreements are key to handling employee retention and restructuring after an M&A. Employees often fear uncertainty, and in many cases, talent attrition can be one of the biggest hidden costs of a deal. Addressing roles, benefits, and retention incentives upfront helps maintain stability and signals to staff that their contributions are valued in the new organization. On the legal side, we take a proactive approach by reviewing and updating employment contracts, ensuring compliance with labor laws, and structuring retention packages that align with long-term business goals. Just as important, we revisit non-compete and confidentiality agreements to confirm they’re enforceable and tailored to the new entity. This not only protects the company’s talent but also its know-how, client relationships, and intellectual property. A thoughtful, legally sound strategy for employees is often the difference between a smooth transition and one that jeopardizes the success of the merger. Photo by Annika Wischnewsky, Unsplash How do Florida’s business laws, such as the Florida Limited Liability Company (LLC) structure, impact the M&A process, particularly for companies based in the state? Florida’s LLC framework is flexible, which makes it an attractive option when structuring deals. That flexibility allows businesses to shape ownership, management, and profit distribution in ways that best fit their strategic goals. However, with that flexibility comes responsibility — operating agreements must be carefully drafted to anticipate how ownership transitions will work, how decisions will be made, and how minority interests will be protected. In the context of an M&A, these details become especially important. A poorly written or incomplete operating agreement can lead to disputes over voting rights, profit allocations, or management authority once the deal closes. By contrast, a well-structured agreement creates certainty, reduces the risk of conflict, and provides a clear roadmap for how the new entity will operate. Getting these details right on the front end can be the difference between a smooth transition and prolonged disputes that drain both time and resources. In Florida, certain real estate transactions are subject to documentary stamp taxes. How do these taxes factor into the financial considerations of an M&A involving real estate? Documentary stamp taxes can add significant costs in real estate-heavy transactions, and those costs are often underestimated. In Florida, these taxes apply to deeds and certain financial instruments, which means they can quickly become a substantial line item in an M&A involving property. We advise clients to factor these taxes into their financial modeling from the very beginning so there are no surprises during closing. Beyond awareness, we also explore structuring options that may reduce unnecessary exposure, such as carefully analyzing how assets are transferred and whether alternative deal structures might be more efficient. It’s one of those Florida-specific issues that can easily be overlooked, but when addressed proactively, it prevents unexpected expenses from eating into the overall value of a transaction. Florida has specific laws surrounding non-compete agreements. How do these laws affect M&A transactions, particularly when the deal involves the merging of teams or businesses? Non-compete laws in Florida are enforceable but must be reasonable in scope, geography, and duration to withstand judicial scrutiny. In the M&A context, they are essential for safeguarding the value of the transaction — protecting goodwill, preserving customer relationships, and making sure that key individuals don’t take trade secrets or insider knowledge to a competitor. We take a thorough approach by drafting and reviewing these agreements to comply with Florida’s legal standards while also reflecting the practical realities of the deal. This balance not only strengthens enforceability but also gives our clients confidence that the core value of their acquisition is protected long after the ink dries on the contract.

  • Inside the Peterson Family’s Miami Beach Masterpiece: A Conversation with IG Workshop

    Miami Living takes you inside the Peterson family’s stunning Miami Beach residence. A home that blends modern sophistication with warmth and livability. Designed by IG Workshop (www.igworkshop.com), the visionary studio founded by Samantha Gallacher and Renata Vazconez, and built by Gary Sheer Construction, this waterfront property showcases a seamless balance of craftsmanship, natural materials, and contemporary design. From bespoke millwork to curated lighting and furniture, every detail tells a story of thoughtful collaboration, reflecting both the Petersons’ lifestyle and IG Workshop’s signature approach to design. ML: What was the initial vision the Peterson family shared with you, and how did you translate that into the final design? SG: The clients envisioned a home that would be both impressive in scale and warm in spirit—a place where they could raise their children in comfort while celebrating the architecture. They were drawn to the use of warm woods to balance the soaring ceiling heights, and they wanted the breathtaking views to serve as a focal point, all within a space that feels thoughtfully layered and inviting. ML: IG Workshop is known for its curated use of natural materials—how did you incorporate elements like wood and stone to achieve warmth while keeping the home modern? RV: We created a cohesive palette by layering wood, stone, steel, and bronze glass throughout the home, ensuring every space felt connected. The warmth of the wood balances the grandeur of the stone, while the bronze introduces a subtle sophistication. Together, these materials strike a harmony between modern elegance and inviting comfort. ML: Many spaces in the home feature custom millwork and statement lighting. How do these details enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of the interiors? SG: Every detail of the millwork and lighting was tailored specifically to this home, so the spaces feel both artful and unique. For the architectural lighting, we collaborated with Apure, whose discreet fixtures allowed us to maintain clean ceilings and in turn gave us the freedom to incorporate dramatic, large-scale decorative pieces. The custom millwork became the foundation of the design—by carrying a warm matte walnut throughout, we introduced a moodier, richer atmosphere that grounds the modern architecture while adding depth and warmth. ML: Looking back at this project, what stands out most to you about bringing the Petersons’ dream home to life in Miami Beach? RV: What stood out most was the incredible freedom the Petersons gave us to experiment with materials and push creative boundaries. SG: The expansive scale of the spaces challenged us to develop innovative millwork techniques that introduced layers of depth and character, ensuring the home felt both dynamic and deeply personal.
