Megan Moon

Overview

Megan Moon is a shareholder in Gunster's Jacksonville office. Her practice centers on complex commercial litigation, with a focus on the sports and entertainment industry. Megan regularly litigates for and advises professional sports teams and leagues, entertainment businesses, and media companies, in addition to handling general business and professional contract and tort matters, electronic discovery management, and alternative dispute resolution. Her clients range from Florida’s major professional sports teams to prominent Jacksonville businesses and international corporations.

Megan was named one of Florida Trend's 2025 "Notable Women Leaders in Law" and is a multiple-time honoree in Best Lawyers in America®, a Florida Trend "Up & Comer," and a Florida Super Lawyers "Rising Star." She prides herself on being a high-energy, full-range problem solver who helps clients navigate their most complex and challenging legal issues. To Megan, that means more than courtroom advocacy and legal drafting; it means maintaining a high level of communication and strong relationships with her clients, taking a genuine interest in their businesses and goals, and seeking resolutions that respect and honor those interests.

Megan is a member of Leadership Florida's Connect Class 13 and Leadership Jacksonville's Class of 2019, and she received the Jacksonville Business Journal's "40 Under 40" honor in 2018. In 2026, she became chair of the Florida Bar Association Fourth Circuit Grievance Committee "C."

Outside of the law, Megan is firmly devoted to her family and loves tennis, Jaguars football and reading fiction.
