Forming a Business in Florida
Choosing a business entity can affect management, liability, taxation, financing, and future ownership changes. We help entrepreneurs evaluate their options and establish a legal structure suited to their plans.
Our business formation services include:
- Choosing between an LLC, corporation, partnership, or other structure
- Preparing articles of incorporation or organization
- Drafting bylaws and corporate resolutions
- Preparing operating or partnership agreements
- Addressing licensing and permitting requirements
- Establishing initial governance procedures
Formation is only the beginning. We can continue advising the business as it hires employees, enters contracts, brings in new owners, seeks financing, or encounters new legal concerns.
Gueronniere, P.A. drafts and reviews operating agreements based on the needs of the particular company rather than treating the agreement as a standard formality. We also assist businesses when an existing agreement needs to be updated as ownership or operations change.
What Business Contracts Can Gueronniere, P.A. Prepare and Review?
Contracts define relationships with customers, vendors, employees, owners, lenders, and other businesses. Clear terms can help protect the company while reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings and disputes.
We draft, review, and negotiate agreements such as:
- Purchase and sale agreements
- Buy-sell agreements
- Operating and partnership agreements
- Shareholder agreements
- Consulting agreements
- Customer and vendor agreements
- Master service agreements
- Software agreements
- Joint venture agreements
- Nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements
- Loans and leases
We also advise clients on transactions involving stock or asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, strategic relationships, and financing.
More than simply reviewing the language, we consider how the agreement affects your business, where liability may arise, and whether the terms reflect the parties’ actual intent.
Resolving Shareholder and Partner Issues
Disagreements among shareholders, LLC members, or business partners can disrupt operations and put a company’s value at risk. Problems may involve management authority, distributions, access to information, fiduciary duties, ownership transfers, buyouts, or the direction of the business.
We help clients understand their rights under governing documents and Florida law and evaluate practical options for resolving ownership-related concerns.
Corporate Governance and Compliance Attorney
Good governance creates clear rules for how decisions are made and responsibilities are carried out. Gueronniere, P.A. works with owners, boards, and management on governance matters involving:
- Fiduciary duties
- Internal controls and oversight
- Conflicts of interest
- Shareholder demands
- Management succession
- Risk management
- Indemnification and insurance
- Corporate policies and procedures
We can also review existing governance documents and recommend changes as a business grows, changes ownership, or faces new operational risks.
Outside General Counsel Services
Businesses without an in-house legal department can retain outside general counsel for ongoing access to legal advice. This arrangement allows business owners and management to consult an attorney who becomes familiar with the company’s operations, priorities, and legal concerns.
Our outside general counsel services can help to address:
- Day-to-day operational questions
- Contract review and negotiation
- Corporate governance
- Employment matters
- Financing
- Risk management
- Business disputes
- Ownership changes
- Business dissolution
Outside general counsel can also help identify potential legal concerns earlier, rather than requiring the business to find a new attorney each time an issue arises.
Executive Employment Agreements
Geuronniere P.A. advises businesses and executives regarding employment agreements that may address compensation, benefits, equity arrangements, job responsibilities, confidentiality, restrictive covenants, termination, and dispute resolution.
Because an executive employment agreement can have significant financial and operational consequences for both sides, we carefully review the proposed terms and help clients understand the obligations they are accepting.
We can also advise businesses on employment policies, employee handbooks, employment agreements, and related workplace matters.
