Our Corporate Counsel & Advisory Services

At Brick Business Law, P.A., our legal team offers strategic corporate counsel and advisory services to small and medium-sized businesses throughout Florida. Some of our primary offerings include:

Business Contract Advice

Your company’s written agreements can outline your rights and obligations in a business relationship. However, poorly worded contracts or a lack of negotiation can lead to agreements that do not protect your company’s interests or that create a risk of future disputes. The business attorneys at Brick Business Law, P.A., have extensive experience advising companies during the contract negotiation and drafting process. Our legal team can negotiate with counterparties to ensure you have a fair deal. We can also review proposed agreements to help you understand your rights and responsibilities and advise you of potential red flags or risks in the contract. Our contract counseling services can help your business with:

Contract Negotiation – Our firm can assist by negotiating with counterparties on your business’s behalf to secure favorable terms in a contract and avoid agreement provisions that may lead to future legal issues.
Contract Drafting – Our attorneys can draft clear, comprehensive agreements tailored to the specifics of your company and its contemplated relationship with a counterparty. We have extensive experience with purchase contracts, employment agreements, service contracts, licensing agreements, franchise agreements, and asset purchase agreements.
Contract Review – We can review proposed or existing contracts to help you identify potential risks and determine whether agreements comply with applicable laws.
Contract Enforcement – Our attorneys can provide legal representation when your company needs to enforce its rights or a counterparty’s obligations under a contractual agreement.

Entity Selection and Structuring

Starting a new business or restructuring a company as circumstances change can require experienced legal counsel to ensure that the business’s legal structure meets your needs and goals. The lawyers from Brick Business Law, P.A., offer knowledgeable guidance to entrepreneurs, business partners, and corporate managers for entity selection and structuring. We have assisted businesses with forming limited liability companies, partnerships, and corporations. Our firm can advise your company on legal issues in entity selection and structuring, such as tax implications, liability protection, and corporate governance.

Fractional Chief Legal Officer Services

Even small and medium-sized companies can have regular legal questions or issues. Businesses can benefit from a legal advisor intimately familiar with the company’s circumstances, needs, and goals. However, small and medium enterprises may not have the financial resources to afford in-house counsel.

Brick Business Law, P.A., offers a fractional Chief Legal Officer solution for smaller businesses. Fractional CLOs can provide small and medium-sized companies with the benefits of strategic counsel from an attorney well-versed in the company’s details under a flexible arrangement that works with the company’s needs and financial resources. When your fractional CLO gets to know your business, participates regularly in leadership meetings and understands ongoing goals, objectives, issues and risks, they can provide more valuable advice that enables you to take proactive steps to protect your interests and pursue your objectives.
