Litigation, Civil and Commercial
We are a Florida litigation law firm specializing in business disputes.
We represent companies, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, and individuals, prosecuting and defending a wide range of commercial claims arising from business disputes.
Practice Areas:
A business contract is most often written, but a contract can also be oral or implied. We assist clients to enforce the terms of their contracts and obtain performance from the other party, usually payment or delivery. As this illustrates, even if there is no express or written contract, you may still be entitled to relief and compensation.
Non-solicitation and non-competition restrictive covenants can be part of an employee’s employment contract that prohibits an employee from soliciting former, current or prospective customers or employees, and from starting or working with a competing company after their employment with you ends. We assist clients in drafting and enforcing restrictive covenants.
Defamation is an oral or written false statement about a person, their reputation or business; it is slander if the statement is oral and libel if the statement is written. We assist clients in obtaining compensation when their reputation or business is harmed by other people’s improper statements.
Trade secrets are a valuable to your business and are generally not known to the public. Misappropriation occurs when someone improperly takes, acquires, discloses or uses your trade secrets. We assist clients in obtaining court ordered injunctions directing parties to destroy and prohibit use of trade secrets, and in obtaining compensation for the improper conduct.
Business relationships are difficult to obtain, and harder to keep. Tortious interference occurs when someone maliciously interferes with your business relationships inducing the other party to breach your contract. We assist clients in obtaining court ordered injunctions to maintain the status quo, require performance, and obtain compensation for the tortious conduct.
Fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations are actionable under Florida law. If you relied on a fraudulent or negligent misrepresentation and were harmed as a result, you may have a claim for damages against the commentator. We assist clients in obtaining compensation when they have relied on fraudulent or negligent misrepresentations to their detriment.
A fiduciary duty is an obligation to act in the best interest of another, to be held to a higher standard. If you are a company or an officer, director, or shareholder, others may owe you a contractual or common law fiduciary duty based on your relationship. We assist clients in obtaining compensation when they have been harmed as a result of others breaching their fiduciary obligations.
