Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when LLC members can't agree?
When LLC members reach a deadlock, options may include mediation, buyout provisions in the operating agreement, or judicial dissolution. The right approach depends on the specific terms of your operating agreement and the nature of the dispute.
What is FDUTPA?
The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act protects consumers and businesses from unfair methods of competition and deceptive practices. FDUTPA claims can arise in a variety of business contexts and may provide for recovery of attorney's fees.
How can I collect on a judgment?
Florida law provides several mechanisms for judgment enforcement, including wage garnishment, bank levies, liens on real property, and proceedings supplementary. The most effective approach depends on the debtor's assets and circumstances.
