Business and Commercial Litigation Attorneys

• Breach of contract: Disputes between businesses are not uncommon, and often these disputes center around allegations of a breach of contract. In Florida, a few things need to be proved for a business to prevail in a breach of contract claim. First, the plaintiff must prove that there was, in fact, a contract between the parties.

This can be done by presenting the court with a written agreement or by showing that the parties had an oral agreement and subsequently took actions consistent with that agreement. Next, the plaintiff must show that the defendant breached the terms of the contract. This requires demonstrating that the defendant somehow failed to live up to their end of the bargain.

Finally, the plaintiff must show that they suffered damages due to the breach of contract. If all of these elements are present, then the court will likely find in favor of the plaintiff and award damages accordingly. When it comes to business contracts, it is always best to proceed with causation and seek legal counsel before entering into any agreement. Doing so can help avoid costly breaches and subsequent litigation down the road.

• Product liability: If you sell a defective product, you could be held liable for any injuries or damage that occur as a result.
• Real Estate Matters – Real estate disputes come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a disagreement over the terms of a lease, the boundaries of a property, or something as simple as a parking spot, businesses can find themselves at odds with others over their real estate. And while some disputes can be resolved through mediation or negotiation, others may require legal action. Here are just a few of the most common types of real estate disputes that businesses may encounter:
  • Lease Disputes: Lease disputes are among the most common real estate disputes. Businesses may disagree with their landlord over the terms of their lease, such as the amount of rent, length of the lease, or use of the property.
  • Boundary Disputes: Boundary disputes often occur between neighbors, but businesses can also find themselves in disagreements over property lines. These disputes can be particularly contentious, as they involve land ownership and property value issues.
