Bruce Illes brings over 25 years of experience to Star2Star. Bruce started his legal practice in Cleveland, Ohio representing small and medium-sized businesses and entrepreneurs. During that time Bruce represented several developers and other real estate entrepreneurs. He also represented an international company based in New Delhi, India in the
acquisition of several U.S.-based businesses. Other interesting transactions from his years in private practice included the sale of a genuine Antonio Stradivari violin played by a member of the Cleveland Orchestra and the leasing of recently retired NASCAR race cars for use by a driving school. In 2003, during his last year of private practice, Bruce was named an Ohio Super Lawyer by Super Lawyers magazine.
Bruce relocated to Florida in 2004 to join a regional commercial construction and development firm. As general counsel he was responsible for all construction and development-related diligence and contract documents, authoring in excess of $250M in contracts.
Since joining Star2Star in mid-2011, Bruce has become involved in all aspects of the Company’s business and corporate governance. He has been intimately involved in the documents for our channel partners and most recently has been involved in the extensive revision of the subscriber agreement and channel partner agreements related to our new 3.0 pricing structure. In addition to our sales-related documents, Bruce touches almost everything legal for the Company, from vendor contracts and carrier agreements, to employment-related matters, defending intellectual property rights, and internal governance documents.
Bruce has a degree in Business Management from Kent State University and a Juris Doctorate from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Bruce holds a law license in both Florida and Ohio.
