John Mirkin
Co-Founder · J.D., LL.M.
John is a Florida attorney and entrepreneur focused on the intersection of law, artificial intelligence, and government compliance. His early legal career was in government, where he worked on criminal appellate matters with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and civil matters with the Florida Attorney General’s Office before entering private practice. He later represented businesses, high net worth individuals, and major real estate developers at a regional Florida firm, advising on complex corporate, IP, real estate, and tax matters.
He holds a Master of Laws in Taxation and a Juris Doctor from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he attended on a full-tuition scholarship, and a business degree from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts.
Today, John works hands-on across the legal, business, policy, and technical layers of SwiftGov, shaping how the platform applies AI in government. From that lawyer-builder perspective, he speaks at continuing legal education programs, guest-lectures on AI at law schools, and partners with government agencies on the responsible, outcome-driven implementation of AI.
