Wilson \u00b7 Published October 23, 2026<\/p>\n\n<article lang=\"en\">\n\n\n<p>Outside general counsel for foreign-owned businesses in Miami is an ongoing legal relationship with one Florida business law firm. The firm reviews contracts, handles disputes, advises on employees and leases, and works on property matters as they come up. For owners who live abroad, that means one Florida contact instead of a new lawyer for every problem. KEW Legal is a Florida business law firm serving owners and investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida. It has offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach. Kristina E. Wilson is the responsible lawyer for this page, and Natalie Martinez is also a lawyer at the firm.<\/p>\n<h2>What Outside General Counsel Means for a Foreign-Owned Business<\/h2>\n<p>Outside general counsel is a standing role, not a single filing. The firm acts as the company&#8217;s business lawyer over time, across each area of the business that needs legal input.<\/p>\n<p>Owners abroad face a practical problem. Under Florida&#8217;s LLC chapter, a notice or demand on an LLC under that chapter may be given to any member of a member-managed LLC or any manager of a manager-managed LLC, its registered agent at its registered office in Florida, or its principal office in Florida, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0117.html\">Florida LLC notice rules<\/a> explain. Someone in Florida needs to be ready to receive and act on that notice.<\/p>\n<p>Your operating agreement matters too.

Each one ties to Florida rules where a rule applies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Business contracts and vendor disputes.<\/strong> Review, drafting, negotiation, and enforcement of supply, service, and purchase agreements. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0682\/Sections\/0682.02.html\">Florida&#8217;s arbitration statute<\/a>, a written agreement to arbitrate is valid and enforceable, except on grounds that allow a contract to be revoked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Partnership disputes.<\/strong> Review of operating agreements, buyout terms, and deadlock questions. If the managers or members are deadlocked, the members cannot break the deadlock, and irreparable injury to the LLC is threatened or being suffered, and owners initiated a deadlock sale provision in the operating agreement before a court determined that grounds for judicial dissolution exist, and the provision is then carried out in accordance with its terms, that provision can resolve the deadlock instead of a court order, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0605\/Sections\/0605.0702.html\">Florida LLC dissolution grounds<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commercial leases.<\/strong> Negotiation and review of office, retail, and industrial leases for the business as tenant. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0083\/Sections\/0083.001.html\">Florida&#8217;s nonresidential tenancy rules<\/a> apply to these leases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commercial evictions for owners who live abroad.<\/strong> Handling of default, notices, and court steps on the owner&#8217;s behalf. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0083\/Sections\/0083.05.html\">Florida&#8217;s possession statute<\/a>, a landlord recovers possession only through a court action that decides the right of possession, after the tenant surrenders, or after the tenant abandons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employment issues for employers.<\/strong> Florida is an employment-at-will state, as the Florida Supreme Court restated in <a href=\"https:\/\/flcourts-media.flcourts.gov\/content\/download\/2489373\/opinion\/Opinion_SC2024-1835.pdf\">Gessner v.
