Florida Lawyers in Jacksonville

Lawyers at the Florida law firm of Naugle & Smith, P.L. assist clients with the legal challenges of managing their business. Our attorneys provide legal guidance and documentation for major business transactions including mergers and acquisitions, finance, and joint ventures. Day-to-day operations may require legal advice and representation regarding employment issues as well as routine drafting of employment agreements or contracts, operating agreements, shareholder agreements and other types of contract negotiation or documentation. However, the initial challenge a business faces is often choosing an entity appropriate to business, operation and taxation objectives. Through a limited liability company, corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship or other type of company our lawyers assist clients to make informed decisions on entity selection. We actively represent new and established businesses in company formation, structuring, organization and other legal aspects of maintaining a business.
