A CEO’s Counselor for the Next Chapter
When Orlando’s hospitality sector faced existential crisis in 2020, Jeffrey Gitto didn’t just counsel struggling entrepreneurs — he co-founded the Orlando Hospitality Alliance, uniting 130+ businesses to shape reasonable operating policies during a statewide shutdown. That same instinct — bringing together those who create jobs with those who shape policy — drives his practice at Green Space Legal PLLC.
A Tarpon Springs native who chose Orlando twenty-two years ago, Gitto earned his business education the hard way: patenting an invention and building seven companies before law school, then expanding with diverse ventures including a vineyard and agricultural genetics, while navigating hurricanes, wildfires and market crashes. He brings that operator’s wisdom to counseling entrepreneurs navigating Florida’s unique opportunities.
For over a decade, his civic architecture spans the Mennello Museum of American Art, Church Street District, and City of Orlando’s DTO Advisory Board, plus advocacy for Orlando’s Nighttime Economy Manager, recognizing the need in one of the nations largest visitor economies. His problem-solving extends beyond Orlando: invited to address the FDA publicly on hemp policy in Washington (2019), orchestrating international agricultural partnerships that opened global markets, and guiding local tech companies through multi-state acquisitions and exits. These aren’t just deals — they’re job creators, tax generators, opportunity multipliers.
Excellence threads through education: J.D. cum laude from FAMU (elected class representative), LL.M. from Boston University, specialized training at Oxford, Siena, and Harvard. But his deepest education comes from two decades in Orlando’s business leadership. What distinguishes Gitto is synthesis: merging innovation culture with Florida enterprise, global perspective with local commitment, entrepreneurial urgency with legal focus.
As Orlando transforms from tourism dependency toward diverse economic resilience, Gitto helps builders and operators create companies, partnerships, and coalitions that will define your company’s next chapter.
