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.

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.

How homeowners and contractors can avoid common problems in home improvemen
Home improvement contracts and residential real property construction contracts can be fraught with problems caused by delays and lack of materials. What a homeowner can do when the contractor simply does not perform or will not complete the job or what the contractor can do when the homeowner will not pay is grounded in the parties’ contract. In Florida home improvement and residential construction contracts must contain some specific language. It is that statutory language that provides additional solutions to both contractors and homeowners when they run into problems in completing the project.

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.

Anatomy of a Business Lawsuit - Resolution Phase
Parts 1 and 2 of this article analyzed the pleadings and discovery phases of a business lawsuit in Florida. This part will address the third phase of a Florida business dispute, which is the conclusion or resolution in some form or another.
To review, the pleadings phase is basically where the parties put their cards on the table so to speak and define what their issues are about. The discovery phase is where the parties exchange and obtain information and take depositions to verify their claims and tell the other what their claims are based upon.
Most commonly the third or conclusion phase is thought of as the trial, but before that can occur the parties must mediate and that can lead to a settlement.

Anatomy of a Business Dispute - Discovery Phase
In Part 1 of this Article we looked at the first or Pleadings Phase of a business lawsuit in Florida. This part will examine the second or Discovery Phase. In the discovery phase the parties try to verify what they think they know and learn information of which they were unaware. They do this with the other party or parties in the lawsuit and with parties outside the lawsuit known as third-parties.
This exchange of information in discovery can be done through depositions or through certain pleadings also called paper discovery. Those include interrogatories, requests to produce, and requests for admissions. The Rules of Procedure that govern civil lawsuits in Florida and past cases or precedent that have interpreted those Rules provide for and limit this discovery.
