FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​

Why do I need a lawyer to review my business contract? Standard-form contracts often contain provisions that heavily favor the drafter. An attorney can identify one-sided clauses, missing protections, and ambiguous language that could cost you significantly if a dispute arises.

​

What is a non-compete agreement and is it enforceable in Florida? A non-compete agreement restricts an employee or contractor from working for a competitor after leaving your company. Florida is one of the more employer-friendly states when it comes to non-compete enforcement — but the agreement must meet specific statutory requirements to be valid. We both draft and litigate non-compete matters.

​

What should a business purchase agreement include? A solid business purchase agreement should cover the purchase price and payment terms, what assets or equity is being transferred, representations and warranties from the seller, indemnification provisions, and any conditions to closing. Leaving out key terms is one of the most common — and costly — mistakes in business acquisitions.

​

How long does it take to draft a contract? Simple agreements (NDAs, independent contractor agreements) can be turned around in 1 to 3 business days. Complex agreements (business acquisitions, commercial leases, joint ventures) typically require more time for negotiation and revision. We work on your timeline.
