Why should I consult with a Tampa business law attorney before declaring bankruptcy?Sadly, when many businesses suffer severe financial setbacks or are not meeting their goals, they automatically consider bankruptcy their first option. However, if you are a business owner experiencing financial problems, you should always hire a business restructuring attorney to evaluate your options. Often, a restructuring attorney can conduct a comprehensive study to determine if operational or financial structuring is possible to avoid bankruptcy proceedings. In many instances, with the help of a qualified attorney, businesses are able to restructure their debt and operations to help get their business back on track without the cost and worry of bankruptcy.

What is a breach of fiduciary duty in business?One of the most common causes of partnership disputes is a breach of fiduciary duty. Fiduciary duty is a legal obligation requiring one party to act in the best interest of another party. In a business context, partners owe one another a fiduciary duty to act with honesty and good faith in their business dealings. Common examples of a breach of fiduciary duty in business include fraud, engaging in self-dealing, negligence, or general misconduct. Because of the possibility of partners breaching their fiduciary duties, all partnership agreements should contain terms and conditions detailing what is expected of all parties and what will happen if a violation occurs.

Why is business succession planning important for a Tampa family-owned businesses?Many small businesses in the Tampa Bay area are family-owned, and often, older family members assume that their heirs will eventually take over the company. However, statistics show that only 30 % of family-owned businesses make it through the second generation of ownership. Many older family members wrongfully assume that their heirs will want to run the business. Therefore, business succession planning is crucial to determine who will ultimately take over upon the retirement or death of the current owner and how a transfer of ownership should be funded. Additionally, sufficient time must be allotted for the successor to be trained and mentored to ensure the viability of the business once ownership has been transferred.
-
Are there steps my Tampa business can take to avoid potential litigation?Avoiding litigation should be a priority for any business. Litigation can be costly and, depending on the circumstances, cause the business to suffer significant damage to its reputation and financial bottom line. Some of the best ways to avoid potential litigation are to conduct regular employee training, implement safety measures, keep detailed business records, and maintain good relationships with customers and vendors.

What are Articles of Organization?If you plan to form a new Florida LLC, you must file legal paperwork with the Florida Division of Corporations. Articles of Organization is the title page that states the LLC’s name, address, and other required information, such as who is acting as the legally required registered agent. The Articles of Organization document also includes the names of the members and managers of the LLC and its effective date. A Tampa business attorney can assist your company by helping to prepare and file your documents and advise you of any permits or licenses your LLC may need.

What Should I Know When Starting Up a Tampa Business?When starting up a business, it’s crucial to understand key legal and financial considerations. Begin by selecting the right business structure — sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation — each with different implications for liability and taxes. Obtain the necessary licenses and permits to operate legally in your area. Protect your intellectual property with trademarks, patents, or copyrights. Draft clear contracts for employees, partners, and suppliers to avoid future disputes. Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, including tax obligations. Consulting with a business attorney to navigate complex legal requirements and safeguard your business from potential risks can be incredibly beneficial for your business moving forward.

What are the disadvantages associated with a limited liability company (LLC)?Many new business owners create a Florida LLC because they seek asset protection. In terms of asset protection, an LLC offers the same liability protection as a corporation but does not require many of the same record-keeping requirements. However, LLCs have several disadvantages as opposed to sole proprietorship or general partnership. These disadvantages include higher costs to initially form and maintain the LLC and limited ownership transfer flexibility. Therefore, for anyone trying to choose the best business formation strategy for their needs, it is always best to consult a knowledgeable attorney who can explain your legal options.
