Our Business Law Services
Below are the primary areas of business law handled by Roussos Law Group. Each service page provides additional detail about the process, legal considerations, and how our firm can assist.
Business Formation
Choosing the right business structure—LLC, corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship—is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. We guide clients through entity selection, filings, and initial governance documents to ensure a strong and compliant foundation.
Business Dissolution
When it’s time to close or transition your business, proper legal steps can prevent disputes and financial liability. Our firm assists with dissolving entities, distributing assets, and fulfilling all state and contractual obligations.
Contract Drafting & Review
Every successful business relies on clear, enforceable contracts. We draft and review agreements tailored to your operations, ensuring they protect your interests and reduce exposure to risk.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
Confidentiality agreements are essential when sharing proprietary information with employees, vendors, or partners. We prepare NDAs that protect trade secrets, intellectual property, and sensitive data in compliance with Florida law.
Buy-Sell Agreements
A buy-sell agreement provides clarity when ownership changes occur due to death, disability, or voluntary sale. We draft customized agreements to prevent conflict and protect all parties involved.
Shareholder & Operating Agreements
Strong governance documents define how your company operates and resolves disputes. We create shareholder and operating agreements that establish rights, responsibilities, and succession plans among owners.
Promissory Notes
When lending or borrowing funds within a business context, clear documentation is vital. We draft and review promissory notes to ensure repayment terms, interest, and remedies are legally sound and enforceable.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Buying, selling, or merging a business requires meticulous planning and due diligence. Our attorneys oversee negotiations, draft transactional documents, and help ensure compliance throughout the process.
Business Licenses & Compliance
We assist businesses with obtaining and maintaining the licenses, permits, and filings required under Florida and federal regulations. Our goal is to help clients operate smoothly and avoid administrative penalties.
Non-Compete Agreements
Florida’s restrictive covenant laws can be complex. We help employers draft legally enforceable non-compete agreements and advise employees on their rights and obligations before signing.
