FAQs

Not all lawyers practice business law. A business attorney with practical experience in litigation will have a better understanding of the legal issues involved. Additionally, they will likely be familiar with the appropriate procedures and the deadlines that apply in your case. This in-depth knowledge and experience can help them apprise you of your legal rights and options so that your rights are protected at every stage of the case.

Not all business disputes require a business attorney. However, there are several advantages to obtaining assistance from a skilled business attorney. An attorney can give you a better sense of your legal rights. They can explain your options and advise you on the best course of action to achieve the outcome you want. They can also represent your interests during mediation, an alternative form of dispute resolution in which a third-party neutral helps guide you and another party involved in a dispute toward a resolution of your case.

Most business disputes are ultimately settled outside of court. Your lawyer can advise you of all options available to you, including those that involve litigation, as well as out-of-court settlement options. However, in some circumstances, your lawyer may recommend filing suit in court to show that you are serious about the matter. You can generally settle your case at any point, including on the courtroom steps on the eve of trial.

The first thing to do if your business partner breached your contract is to notify them of this breach. You and your partner may disagree about rights or responsibilities, so notifying them of your interpretation that their action was a breach may get them to look at the situation differently. If your partner refuses to correct the breach, you should contact an experienced business attorney who can offer recommendations about the possible avenues you can take based upon your particular circumstances.

In Florida, there are a few steps you will need to take to form a corporation. The first thing to do is to educate yourself about the various types of business entities and determine which is right for you. This will largely come down to the type of protection you want from personal liability and the way your business income will be taxed. You will need to prepare a written document about how your business will be structured, either as articles of incorporation or articles of organization. You will also need to register your business name.

You can voluntarily dissolve your Florida company by filing articles of dissolution. You will need to provide information to identify your business to complete the articles of dissolution. You may need additional information to complete the form. Once your articles of dissolution are accepted, your business entity will no longer exist. You file the papers or online with Florida’s Division of Corporations. Your articles of dissolution may require additional items that apply specifically to your situation. A business attorney can review the requirements that apply to you and help you officially close your business.

A business law attorney can discuss the problems that you are having and the possible solutions. Consulting with an attorney does not mean that you have to sue your partner or dissolve your business. An experienced business lawyer can help lay out all your options so that you can make an informed decision about how to move forward with your case.

A fiduciary is a person who has a financial responsibility to another person or entity. Directors and board members have a fiduciary duty to the businesses they are part of. A breach of fiduciary duty claim can arise if a shareholder or other interested party believes that the fiduciary has violated their duty, such as by engaging in self-dealing or putting their personal interests above the business’. The best thing to do if your business has received notice of such a claim is to hire a lawyer experienced in this area of the law.

Landlord and tenant disputes may be resolved in a number of ways. First, they may privately settle these disputes between them. Second, one or both of the parties may decide to terminate the rental agreement. Third, the parties can engage the mediation process where they work together and try to reach a mutually satisfactory solution. Fourth, they can hire an attorney to represent them.
