Every business deal, construction project, real estate purchase or sale, and any other commercial transaction is governed by a contract. While some agreements can be made orally, others must be written to be binding. While some contracts have specific terms that are implied by law through the conduct of the parties, may be implied. Actual money damages, liquidated damages, injunctions to enjoin or stop the behavior, and requirements that certain provisions of the contract are performed or fulfilled can all be remedies for breach.
The complex Florida contract law has been developed over many years. It contains detailed rules about how contracts should be interpreted and what evidence can be used in resolving a dispute.
Okoye Morgan Jr., a civil litigation attorney, is available to assist you in pre-suit negotiations. He will help you to understand your options, formulate the best strategy to manage risk, reduce loss, and enforce your rights under a contract. We will help you resolve any contract dispute using the most efficient methods that are most likely to result in a successful outcome.
Some business disputes and civil litigation are not contract-based. Unfair competition, false advertising, or any other conduct that is prohibited by the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) can all be brought against business owners. Our firm represents business owners and consumers in defending or prosecuting claims under the FDUTPA as well as other federal and state laws that impose penalties for fraud, misrepresentation, and other business torts.
Florida’s commercial landlord-tenant law imposes obligations on both tenants and landlords. Tenants may be granted exclusive possession, but the landlord can still enter the property for repairs or inspections. These terms should be clearly stated in the lease to identify landlord and tenant rights.
However, this is not always true. There may also be implied warranties in the lease that are either explicitly stated or implied by law. For commercial properties, these warranties may include a warranty that the property is fit or suitable for a specific purpose or the right to use it without interference from the landlord. The landlord may also be able to control tenants who unreasonably infringe on other tenants’ rights.
The Black Law Company helps tenants and commercial landlords understand and litigate lease provisions. This includes actions for collection, money damages for loss of property or business interference, injunctions, and other matters.
Florida law regarding construction defects requires that the property owner give notice to the contractor of any defect before filing any lawsuit. After the notice is given, the contractor has the option to either fix the problem or engage its insurance company for an out-of-court settlement. It is not uncommon for construction defects to be very costly. They may also be more costly if they result in personal injuries.
Our Tampa construction defect lawyer represents property owners. As well as contractors in lawsuits over design mistakes, claims of defective workmanship, substandard materials, code violations, enforcement, and defense of contractor liens.
Shareholders have the right to question decisions made by officers or directors that may have violated their fiduciary obligations to the corporation. This includes self-dealing, conflicts, bad business dealings, and conflicts of interest. However, shareholders might not be able to understand how and why decisions are made at the management or board level. Our corporate litigation attorney represents the parties in shareholder and partnership disputes as well as other commercial litigation. This helps protect vital business interests and important rights.
The outcome of a civil litigation attorney in Tampa FL often involves a winner or a loser. The next step for the loser would be to weigh the pros and cons associated with appealing. An appeal is not a retrial. Not all trial lawyers can handle appellate work. Appeal cases are often decided by written briefs. Oral argument is often ordered by appellate courts. This process is quite different from the way that a trial proceeds.
Our experienced lawyers are skilled in preserving trial records for appeal, reviewing trial transcripts for appealable grounds, and writing persuasive appellate briefs. The law office of Okoye Morgan Jr. can help you evaluate your options and determine your next steps if you have been notified that the other side has appealed.
