Orlando Corporation & Partnerships Lawyer Here to Help You
Incorporating your business is one of the best ways to protect your personal assets from risks associated with claims against your business. Maintaining protection against liability also requires care and attention.
There are a variety of different types of corporate entities. Selecting the right one is critical. However, your Orlando Commercial Law Lawyer familiar with business and corporate law can help you do this.
What You Should Know About Creating or Reclassifying Your Business
Generally, corporate entities and their owners or members are governed by their own bylaws and articles. Their documents must be in record with Florida law.
Their governing documents may be looked to for guidance and for:
- Resolution of disputes related to operations of the corporate entities
- Decision-making authority
- Ownership and buy out rights
- Other critical elements related to corporate governance
Our corporate attorneys have extensive experience in the formation and operation of corporate entities, including ongoing representation for all legal issues that arise in the operation of a business, whether it is under the umbrella of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or variations of the same.
Elements You Should Keep in Mind Throughout this Process
Some issues you need to consider when starting a business are:
- What is the best entity type for your situation?
- Are there options that can help minimize your tax burden?
- What is the best way to protect your personal or business assets from liability?
- How can you plan for a future transition of the business’ ownership?
- How can management deadlocks be avoided between and among co-owners?
How our Team Can Help You and Your Business
Our corporate lawyers can help analyze these issues for your particular circumstances and help prepare all necessary documents. If you are purchasing or selling a business, our attorneys can help you understand what needs to be in the agreement to:

Whether you are starting a new business venture, purchasing or selling a business, or currently operating a business, you will undoubtedly face issues regarding contracts because they are an essential aspect of business transactions.
The commercial litigation attorneys at Bogin, Munns & Munns have the knowledge and experience required to determine the appropriate action to take to remedy your contract disputes, no matter the complexity.
Breach of contract issues typically involve the failure of one party to perform an obligation under the contract without legal justification. They include broken promises, not completing work to be performed, and failure to make payments or deliver goods.
Possibly Relevant Breach of Contract Defenses
There are several affirmative defenses to a breach of contract in Florida, all of which are best acted upon with the legal counsel of a commercial litigation lawyer.

Limited Liability Company Corporate
A limited liability company is a business entity similar to a corporation, providing the sought-after personal liability protection of a corporation, but with some differences. Because of these differences, the selection of a business entity most appropriate to a situation varies based on the specific facts at hand.
Similar to a corporation, the owners of a limited liability company are subject to such statutory requirements to maintain the personal limited liability protection for its owners. The owners are also able to create agreements among the owners to control the operation of the company and the relationships between the owners.
