Corporate Law & Commercial Litigation
In today’s fast-paced world, business contracts and deals happen every second, therefore, disputes between businesses are inevitable. Litigation lawsuits can be costly, but the failure to protect the legal interests of your company before litigation ensues can cost you much more in the long-run.
Types of Corporate Law
Corporate law (also known as business law) is the body of law governing the rights, relations, and conduct of persons, companies, organizations, and businesses. The term refers to the legal practice of law relating to corporations, or to the theory of corporations. It encompasses the formation, funding, governance, and death of a corporation.
Operating Agreements
In most parts of the world, corporate law is vague and it leaves most entrepreneurs and businessmen or business women confused.
Overview
Under Florida law, it is not required for a limited liability company ("LLC") to have an operating agreement. Members of an LLC are free to run the business of the LLC as they see fit but are bound by the limitations and requirements of Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act ("FRLLCA").
HOW SAADE LAW CAN HELP
However, the default provisions of the FFRLLCA are, at times, vague and do not necessarily meet the needs of the members of an LLC. Hiring an attorney to draft an operating agreement that is specific to the purpose and needs of the LLC and its members, will promote and can sustain a successful business.
Contracts
A contract, in any form, is a legally binding agreement between two parties, to do or not to do a certain action or activity.
Overview
Corporations sign contracts every day whether it’s a new partnership, new deal, new procurement or hiring a new employee. For any party, it is equally important to fully understand the terms and clauses mentioned in the contract before signing it.
HOW SAADE LAW CAN HELP
The terms that bind the parties can be confusing or may be written in the language of law which is not comprehensible to many people. Most contract disputes occur because of the misunderstanding and confusion between the parties. If you are in this situation, it is always wise to consult an attorney before signing any contract.
