What should I do if I receive a litigation hold notice
A litigation hold notice or litigation hold letter basically says I might sue you so please do not delete certain data. If you get one of these, the best response is to first contact your business attorney. The notice should be as specific as is reasonably possible. The purpose is to put a business on notice that the data identified in the letter might be needed in a dispute. Beware that ignoring the notice can be problematic.

What do I do if I am served with a subpoena
In Florida, the rules in lawsuits allow for discovery of electronically stored information or ESI in addition to paper documents. As a result, businesses must maintain their ESI. Even if you are not involved in a lawsuit you might still receive a subpoena from a plaintiff or a defendant in a lawsuit so you need to know what to do.

What makes a good mediator
A good mediator has enough experience to bring a useful perspective to the dispute but patiently listens to each side explain their position and voice their concerns. A good mediator is a person that projects a position of neutrality and has a temperament that calms the mediation conference allowing cooler heads to prevail.

How to get your attorneys fees back when you win a lawsuit in Florida
In Florida, attorney’s fees are generally recoverable by the winning party if they are allowed by agreement such as in a written contract or by law in a statute. This protocol is commonly called the American Rule because it modified its cousin, the English Rule, which awarded fees to the winner in all civil cases.

Common legal claims in business disputes
The three distinct but broad categories of claims that are commonly brought in business disputes in Florida are those grounded in contracts, those based on torts, and those provided by statute. Contract claims may be predicated on a written or oral agreement or a contract implied by law. Torts are claims based on negligence or intentional bad acts. Statutory claims are those where a specific statute defines the claim and the relief.

What does it mean to settle a business dispute
A settlement of claims in a business dispute is a compromise. A compromise is generally defined as one side giving or paying more than they would like and the other accepting less than they desired.
Settlements can occur independent of a lawsuit or arbitration or as part of that process in a mediation or directly between the parties. In a lawsuit or arbitration a settlement returns control over the outcome to the parties from the party that would otherwise decide their fate such as a judge, arbitrator, or jury. What may be contained in settlement terms and whether such terms are appropriate or beneficial are highly personal to the parties and dependent on the unique facts of the case.

What can you do with a final judgment
A judgment does not always come from a trial, but it often does signal the end of the litigation. A final judgment issued by a court establishes that the court has determined one party to be the winner and usually entitled to some amount of money. While the judgment itself does not require payment of money it allows the holder of the judgment to use the court's power to get money or property. That power is the topic of this article.

Can your business benefit from a non-compete or NDA
Businesses need to protect themselves. One of the easiest methods is through documents by which another party agrees not to improperly use or take information or personnel from the business to compete against it. These documents are non-compete or non-competition agreements, non-solicitation agreements, and non-disclosure agreements.
While these documents may not stop someone from stealing information or persuading key employees to leave, they do place the business in a position to more easily enforce its rights and protect itself. However because they limits free trade there are restrictions that apply to some of those documents therefore they must be prepared by competent counsel to avoid making the situation worse.

Due diligence in commercial real estate transactions
Caveat emptor or buyer beware applies to commercial real estate purchases in Florida. This is primarily true because the nature of the transaction is drastically different as compared to residential purchases. Thus due diligence in such transactions is of critical importance.
