Business Law
What is Business Law?
We serve as trusted legal counsel to businesses across Florida, guiding them through every legal challenge and opportunity from formation to growth, operations, dispute resolution, and beyond. With a deep understanding of Florida’s commercial environment and business regulations, our experienced attorneys provide tailored legal strategies that support your company's success while protecting your bottom line.
Whether you’re launching a startup, managing day-to-day operations, expanding through acquisition, or preparing for succession or sale, we are here to help you make informed, legally sound decisions every step of the way.
Business Formation & Entity Selection
Choosing the right legal structure is the foundation of your business’s future. We help you determine whether an LLC, corporation, partnership, or other entity best fits your goals—considering liability protection, tax strategy, investor needs, and long-term flexibility. We also prepare and file all required documents with the Florida Division of Corporations and draft customized Operating Agreements, Bylaws, Partnership Agreements, Shareholder Agreements, and more.
Contract Drafting, Review & Negotiation
Solid contracts are essential for protecting your interests and avoiding costly disputes. We draft, review, and negotiate contracts tailored to your business needs, including vendor and supplier agreements, client service contracts, independent contractor and employment agreements, commercial leases, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements, franchise documents, licensing agreements, and others.
Business Litigation & Dispute Resolution
When disputes arise, we focus on protecting your rights and resolving matters efficiently. Whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation, we represent businesses in most business-related disputes including breach of contract cases, business partner/shareholder disputes, collections and unpaid invoices, fraud and misrepresentation claims, and others.
