He has led legal teams in negotiating significant international business transactions and disputes, including a controversial fight for control of Miami's America Teve, the most watched TV station in Cuba, and the leading independent TV station in Miami.

From 1999-2001, Mr. Felipe served as the youngest member of the board of directors of the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF). In 2001, Mr. Felipe, and other CANF leaders, including some of its founders, left CANF to form the Cuban Liberty Council, an organization which he later served as its Executive Director. Mr. Felipe, as other CLC leaders, is also a strong advocate of the work of The US-Cuba Democracy PAC, the largest, and most effective, single-issue foreign policy PAC in Washington, D.C.
