Business Law Attorneys in Jacksonville

The legal practice of commercial litigation or business law which it is commonly referred to, is such a highly specialized field of law that only a handful of attorneys are successfully engaged at practicing it. Jacksonville is blessed with a number of factors that lend support to a business law practice including an expanding market base with ongoing commercial construction, a vibrant and thriving business community, and an ever-increasing population. But what do these business law litigants actually do besides represent plaintiffs and defendants in legal actions within the commercial fields of endeavor? The practice of business law is actually broken up into two specific fields of work, transactional and litigation. Transactional law deals primarily with drafting durable contracts, non-compete agreements, business formations, negotiating disputes, advising clients on all aspects of business law and performing research of current case law and incorporating all of those activities into a legal services structure. Litigation attorneys, in many cases, perform transactional work also but have the knowledge and experience to conduct themselves in all matters that are involved in legal cases seeking resolution. From drafting pleadings or legal documents filed in a lawsuit, complaints, petitions and written arguments to jury selections and appeals, business litigation attorneys specialize in representing many different kinds of business interests. Most business law attorneys represent business owners as well as consumers having grievances with breach of contract and performance issues especially involving the construction Industry. Business law attorneys have to be familiar with both state and federal statutes and procedures. Many Jacksonville business law attorneys also represent homeowner and condo associations and can assist developers with HOA creation, governing documents, declaration of covenants, restrictions, and conditions. In addition, many also handle legal issues involving creditors rights, addressing liens, repossession of goods and collection of consumer, as well as commercial debt.
