William W. Munch

William Munch is the son of Munch & Munch, P.A. founding partners, Jacob and Kim Munch. A Tampa native, William was born and raised here and graduated from H.B. Plant High School. He went on to earn a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Florida State University.

After college, William spent nine years working as an engineer for James Hardie Building Products at their manufacturing facility near Los Angeles, California. During that time, he pursued his MBA in the evenings and earned his degree from Pepperdine University's Graziadio Business School in 2019.

In 2019, encouraged by his sister Casey, William decided to pursue a legal career with the goal of returning to Florida to join the family firm. He began law school by taking night classes at Western State College of Law in Irvine, California, and later transferred to Thomas M. Cooley Law School, Tampa, Florida. While attending law school, William continued working as an engineer until September 2023, when he left engineering to join Munch & Munch, P.A. as a law clerk. He graduated from Cooley Law School in December 2024.

William grew up on boats and learned the navigational rules of the water from a young age. That early experience sparked a lasting interest in maritime life — and eventually, maritime law. Encouraged by his sister to turn that interest into a career, he decided to go to law school and join the family firm. Now, that passion has led him to focus on maritime law and helping people who’ve been injured in boating and other maritime-related accidents.
