He has also held executive leadership positions as General Counsel, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer for several high-growth businesses.


In addition to his legal practice, Murphy is actively involved in the Naples community. He has served in leadership and volunteer roles with a number of civic and charitable organizations and was recently appointed by the Naples City Council to serve a three-year term on the City of Naples Design Review Board.
