Outside general counsel for business owners living abroad means a Florida law firm handles your company’s legal questions on an ongoing basis, from outside the business. You don’t hire a lawyer for one dispute and then walk away. You keep one Florida point of contact for leases, contracts, partners, and employees. KEW Legal offers this support from offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach, serving Miami-Dade and South Florida. Kristina E. Wilson is the responsible lawyer for this page.<\/p>\n

What Outside General Counsel Means for an Owner Who Lives Abroad<\/h2>\n

Outside general counsel is an ongoing working relationship between a company and a Florida law firm. The firm acts like the company’s legal department, without being an employee of the business.<\/p>\n

A single-matter engagement works differently. You hire a firm for one lease dispute, one lawsuit, or one sale. When that matter ends, the engagement usually ends too.<\/p>\n

For an owner in another country, the ongoing model matters. Questions come up between the big events. A vendor misses a payment. A tenant asks for repairs. A partner wants records. With one lawyer who already knows your contracts, leases, and partners, you don’t have to explain the company from scratch each time. Read more in our guide to outside general counsel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

\n

If a tenant has stopped paying or a partner has gone quiet while you live overseas, we can talk through your options and what comes next. Talk it through with our team — the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p>
