Bring the draft or signed agreement, the business problem and the next contract or court deadline. For broader company matters, see the firm's Miami business law practice. When the agreement has already become a contested business matter, see business disputes.
What Should a Florida Business Contract Include?
A Florida business contract should identify what each side must provide, when payment is due, how long the agreement lasts, how it can end, who owns work or data, and how risk is allocated. Clear scope, payment, authority, default, termination, governing law and dispute terms reduce the room for conflicting interpretations later.
Aaron Resnick reads the draft for scope, payment, term and exit first.
Should a Lawyer Review a Business Contract Before I Sign It?
Review before signing is most useful when the agreement commits significant money, creates a personal guaranty, renews automatically, limits remedies, shifts liability, restricts termination, or uses unfamiliar venue or governing law terms. A contract review should connect the legal language to the actual business deal and identify provisions worth negotiating before obligations become fixed.
Aaron Resnick reads the agreement against the business deal it is meant to record.
Should My Lawyer Draft the Contract or Review the Other Side's Draft?
Either approach can work. Drafting first gives your business control over the structure, definitions, remedies and risk allocation. Reviewing the other side's form starts from the terms that party proposed, which reflect the other party's priorities.
The practical choice depends on leverage, timing, complexity and whether your business needs a reusable agreement or a negotiated document specific to the deal.
For a loan agreement, Law Offices of Aaron Resnick provides promissory note drafting and UCC-1 filing services.
Aaron Resnick reviews the leverage, the timing and the complexity of the deal with the client before the first draft is chosen.
What Should I Do First If the Other Side Breaches a Contract?
Start with the signed agreement, every amendment, the performance history and the next deadline. Identify the exact obligation at issue, any notice and cure language, payment provisions, termination rights, venue, governing law and attorney fee clause before sending a demand or stopping performance. Early decisions can affect leverage, evidence, damages and available remedies.
Enforcing or defending a contract claim is covered on the firm's breach of contract in Florida page.
Aaron Resnick reads the notice and cure language, the termination rights and the attorney fee clause before a demand goes out.
How Long Do I Have to Sue for Breach of Contract in Florida?
Chapter 95, Florida Statutes, generally allows five years for a contract action founded on a written instrument and four years for one not founded on a written instrument. The agreement, claim, breach and remedy still matter. An action for specific performance has a separate one year period, so the general deadlines are not universal.
Have the agreement, the breach date and the requested relief reviewed promptly rather than treating the outer period as a filing target.
Aaron Resnick reads the agreement, the breach date and the relief requested to identify which period applies.
Can an Attorney Fee Clause Make the Other Side Pay My Fees?
Chapter 57, Florida Statutes, can make a contractual enforcement fee right reciprocal. When a contract gives that right to one party, the court may also allow reasonable attorney fees to the other party when that party prevails in an action concerning the contract. Entitlement depends on the clause, claim and result.
Aaron Resnick reads the fee clause before a demand is sent or a lawsuit is filed.
What a Contract Lawyer Reviews
A commercial contract review should focus on the provisions that control the business result, not on changing words merely to make the document look lawyered. Review commonly includes scope, price, payment triggers, term, renewal, termination, default, cure rights, warranties, indemnity, insurance, liability limits, confidentiality, ownership, assignment, personal guaranties, governing law, venue, dispute procedures and attorney fee provisions.

What to Have Ready
Bring the current draft or signed agreement, every exhibit and amendment, any proposal or letter of intent, the communications that explain the deal, a short timeline, the names of all parties, and the next contract or court date. For a dispute, include the notice already sent or received and the documents showing performance, nonperformance or payment.
Describe the agreement and the problem through the consultation page. The firm runs a conflict check before it reviews the documents. If a contract, court or filing deadline is running, call the office as well.
