Most business disputes trace back to something that wasn't put in writing — or was put in writing badly. The operating agreement that never addressed what happens when a partner leaves. The bylaws that don't say how the board actually decides. The shareholder agreement nobody signed, so there's no agreed price when an owner wants out. The handshake purchase of a business with no protection if the numbers turn out to be wrong.

We help you get the foundation right: choosing and forming the right entity, then drafting the governing documents that decide who controls the company, how profits are shared, how decisions get made, and what happens when an owner dies, divorces, defaults or simply wants out. And because we also handle real estate and escrow, we're a natural fit when your business is buying property or when a company changes hands and the deal needs a holdback held in trust.

The documents that govern your company

Forming an LLC or corporation with the state is the easy part — the Division of Corporations filing is a single form. What actually protects you is the internal paperwork that the state never sees: the operating agreement for an LLC, the bylaws and shareholder agreement for a corporation, and the policies that keep the people in charge accountable. These are the documents a bank, an investor, a buyer or a court will ask to see, and the ones that decide who wins when owners disagree.

We draft each of these to match how you actually run the business — not a generic template downloaded from the internet that contradicts your cap table and ignores Florida law. Explore each below, or tell us about your company and we'll tell you exactly which ones you need.

How we help

Practical counsel for every stage.

Entity formation

LLCs, corporations and partnerships — formed correctly under Florida law, with the governing documents that fit how you actually run the business.

Operating & shareholder agreements

The documents that decide control, profit splits, voting, transfers and what happens when an owner leaves — drafted to match your real cap table.

Bylaws & governance

Corporate bylaws, board and officer authority, conflict-of-interest policies and the resolutions that keep your corporate record clean and your liability shield intact.

Buying or selling a business

Asset and stock purchases, letters of intent, and purchase agreements — with deal escrow and holdbacks held in our attorney trust account.

Contracts

Service agreements, vendor and client contracts, NDAs and leases — drafted and reviewed to protect you, not just to look official.

Commercial real estate

When your business buys, sells or leases property, the same firm handles the entity, the contract, the escrow and the closing.

Common questions

Business law, answered.

Which entity is right for my business — LLC or corporation?
It depends on how you'll be taxed, whether you'll have outside investors, and how you want to share control. For many South Florida small businesses an LLC is the flexible default, but if you plan to raise venture money or grant equity to a team, a corporation is often the better fit. We'll walk you through the trade-offs and form whichever one actually serves your plan.
Do I need an operating agreement if I'm the only owner?
It's still worth having. A clean operating agreement reinforces the liability protection of the LLC, makes banking and financing easier, and sets the rules in advance if you ever add a partner, bring on investors or sell. Florida does not require you to file one, but lenders and buyers will expect to see it.
What's the difference between bylaws and an operating agreement?
They do the same job for different entities. Bylaws govern a corporation — the board, the officers, shareholder meetings and voting. An operating agreement governs an LLC — its members, managers, capital and distributions. A corporation typically also has a separate shareholder agreement covering transfers and buy-sell terms; in an LLC those provisions usually live inside the operating agreement itself.
Can you hold escrow for a business sale?
Yes. Purchase-price holdbacks and indemnity escrows for a business sale can be held in our attorney trust account — see our escrow page for how that works.
How do you charge for business law work?
Flat fee. Once we know which documents you need, we quote one flat price up front — so you can budget with certainty and there's no hourly meter running while you ask questions.
Do you handle business matters in Spanish?
Yes. Both partners are fully bilingual and handle formation, governance documents, contracts and transactions in English or Español.
