The firm covers partnership, vendor, lease, employment, and investment property matters. KEW Legal works from offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Business Dispute Attorney Does for Broward Owners and Investors<\/h2>\n<p>A business dispute attorney works on conflicts that grow out of owning, funding, or running a company. Many of these problems start small. A missed payment, an unclear contract term, or a partner who stops sharing information can become a lawsuit if no one acts early.<\/p>\n<p>Outside general counsel is an ongoing legal role. The firm acts as a steady legal resource, so owners can ask about recurring issues before they become disputes. Common examples include signing authority, lease terms, and employee policies.<\/p>\n<p>This page is for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>LLC members and partners who disagree about control or money<\/li>\n<li>Co-investors in a property or business<\/li>\n<li>Employers facing workplace claims or policy questions<\/li>\n<li>Owners of investment property, including owners who live outside Florida<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>KEW Legal serves business owners in Broward County from its offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-contrast-color has-surface-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--surface,#f2f3f5);color:var(--wp--preset--color--contrast,#22252b);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a partner has gone silent, a vendor is holding payment, or a tenant is behind on rent, you may have a claim, and you don&#x27;t have to face it alone.

Common disagreements include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deadlocks between owners on major decisions<\/li>\n<li>Disputes over profit distributions<\/li>\n<li>Questions about capital contributions<\/li>\n<li>Arguments over management decisions<\/li>\n<li>Disagreements about how an owner leaves the business<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Records are often the first fight. A Florida limited liability company must keep, at its principal office or another location, a current list of the full names and last known addresses of each member and manager, and copies of its financial statements, if any, for the three most recent years. A member may inspect and copy those records during regular business hours, on reasonable notice.<\/p>\n<p>If the company refuses, a court in the county of its principal office may order inspection at the company&#8217;s expense (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0411.html\">\u00a7 605.0411<\/a>). The court must also order the company to pay reasonable attorney fees and other costs of obtaining the order, unless the company proves that it refused inspection in good faith because it had a reasonable basis for doubting the right of the member, manager, or other person to inspect or copy the records. Partners also have access to partnership books and records (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0620\/Sections\/0620.8403.html\">\u00a7 620.8403<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Read our guides on whether a minority member can see company books and whether a co-owner can sign contracts alone.<\/p>\n<p>Gather these early: the operating or partnership agreement, meeting minutes, capital account records, and written messages between owners.<\/p>\n<h2>Vendor, Contract, and Breach Disputes<\/h2>\n<p>A vendor or contract dispute turns on the written terms and on what each side actually did. Typical problems include non-payment, late or defective deliveries, and disagreements over scope of work.<\/p>\n<p>Start by reviewing the controlling terms: payment deadlines, notice requirements, termination clauses, dispute resolution provisions, and limits on liability.<\/p>\n<p>Arbitration clauses carry weight. An agreement in a record to arbitrate existing or future disputes is generally valid and enforceable (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0682\/Sections\/0682.02.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 682.02<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Notice matters for goods. A buyer that accepts goods must notify the seller of a breach within a reasonable time after discovering it or after it should have discovered it, or be barred from any remedy (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0672\/Sections\/0672.607.html\">\u00a7 672.607<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Oral deals can count. An oral contract still needs offer, acceptance, consideration, and clear essential terms (<a href=\"https:\/\/flcourts-media.flcourts.gov\/content\/download\/319242\/opinion\/Opinion_SC02-2491.pdf\">St. Joe Corp. v. McIver<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Options often include a demand letter, negotiation, mediation or arbitration if the contract requires it, and litigation. Keep invoices, emails, purchase orders, and delivery records from the start.<\/p>\n<h2>Commercial Lease Disputes and Commercial Evictions<\/h2>\n<p>Common lease problems include unpaid rent, disputed common-area charges, repair duties, unauthorized subletting, and default notices.<\/p>\n<p>For unpaid rent, a landlord may remove a tenant who stays after default, after 3 days&#8217; written notice demanding rent or possession (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0083\/Sections\/0083.20.html\">\u00a7 83.20<\/a>). For a material breach of the lease other than unpaid rent, when the lease is silent or the tenancy is oral at will, a written notice gives the tenant at least 15 days to cure or surrender the premises (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0083\/Sections\/0083.20.html\">\u00a7 83.20<\/a>). If a tenant refuses to leave at lease end, the landlord may demand double the monthly rent (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0083\/Sections\/0083.06.html\">\u00a7 83.06<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Owners who live outside Florida or abroad can work with the firm on these steps. Authority and communication arrangements are set out in the engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Before acting, gather the lease, the rent ledger, every notice sent or received, and tenant communications. The right steps follow from the lease wording and the tenancy&#8217;s history, so don&#8217;t send a notice without a review.<\/p>\n<h2>Employment Issues and Real Estate Investment Matters<\/h2>\n<p>Employment and property issues often touch the same contracts and owners as the rest of the business. An at-will employee may be fired at any time, but not for a reason the law prohibits, such as retaliation or unlawful discrimination (<a href=\"https:\/\/flcourts-media.flcourts.gov\/content\/download\/165898\/opinion\/Opinion_08-2948.pdf\">Laguerre v. Palm Beach Newspapers<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>A court shall modify an overbroad restraint and grant only the relief reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interest (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0500-0599\/0542\/Sections\/0542.335.html\">\u00a7 542.335<\/a>). Under \u00a7 542.335, a court shall not enforce a restrictive covenant unless it is in a writing signed by the person against whom enforcement is sought (<a href=\"https:\/\/flcourts-media.flcourts.gov\/content\/download\/470811\/opinion\/Opinion_00-3393.pdf\">Quaker Oats Co. v. Jewell<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>On the property side, the firm handles purchase and sale agreements, ownership structures for investment property, and disputes between co-investors.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Process Works: From First Consultation to Resolution<\/h2>\n<p>The process moves from a consultation to a document review, then to a plan with clear next steps. Here is what to expect:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free, confidential first consultation.<\/strong> The first consultation is free, confidential, and comes with no obligation to continue. You describe the dispute, and the firm asks about the documents involved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document review.<\/strong> The firm reviews the governing agreements, correspondence, and records. It then explains the issues and options in writing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Early steps.<\/strong> These may include a demand letter, negotiation, or a settlement proposal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Formal proceedings if needed.<\/strong> Options can include mediation, arbitration, or a court case. Florida courts under court rules must refer many money-damage cases to mediation when a party asks, provided the requesting party is willing and able to pay the costs of the mediation or the costs can be equitably divided between the parties, with exceptions such as landlord-tenant disputes without a personal injury claim (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0044\/Sections\/0044.102.html\">\u00a7 44.102<\/a>). Fla. Stat. \u00a7 44.102 reads: &#8220;(2) A court, under rules adopted by the Supreme Court: (a) Must, upon request of one party, refer to mediation any filed civil action for monetary damages, provided the requesting party is willing and able to pay the costs of the mediation or the costs can be equitably divided between the parties, unless: 1.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resolution and follow-up.<\/strong> The firm documents any settlement and can keep advising the business on recurring issues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The timeline for each step depends on the facts, the documents, and the other side&#8217;s response.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-contrast-color has-surface-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--surface,#f2f3f5);color:var(--wp--preset--color--contrast,#22252b);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-contrast-color has-text-color\">Not sure what your next step is?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+13059902300\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kewlegal.com\/contact-us\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why KEW Legal for Business Disputes in Broward County<\/h2>\n<p>KEW Legal concentrates on business law for owners and investors.
