Edwin A Bayo

My name is Edwin A. Bayo. I was born January 26, 1957 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. After graduating in 1978 with a bachelor's degree in economics (cum laude) from the University of Puerto Rico, I moved to the United States to pursue my legal education. I received a Juris Doctorate from Stetson Law School in 1981. I have worked in various capacities for the Florida Office of the Attorney General, including Tax Litigation, Administrative Law, Cabinet Affairs and Inspector General. My primary area of practice while in government involved providing advice and representation to regulatory boards under the umbrella of the Department of Health and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. As Senior Assistant Attorney General in the Administrative Law Section, I served as counsel to various professional regulatory boards, including Pharmacy, Dentistry, Osteopathic Medicine, Chiropractic Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Professional Engineers, Landscape Architecture, Clinical Social Work, and Harbor Pilots. In addition, I handled temporary duties or litigation for several other boards including Medicine, Psychology, Nursing, Architecture and Accountancy. In 2002, I served as the Attorney General Representative to the Pedigree Paper Task Force, created by the Legislature to review and reform Florida's regulation of the prescription drug wholesale industry. My current practice at Grossman, Furlow and Bayo' includes the representation of professional licensees, regulated entities and interested parties before regulatory agencies, Florida Courts and the Division of Administrative Hearings. I concentrates my practice in the areas of Administrative and Regulatory Law with emphasis on the laws and regulations affecting pharmacies, drug manufacturers and drug wholesalers. I am a frequent speaker before local, state, and national professional organizations on licensure and regulatory issues, and have published several articles on these topics.
