Most business problems are cheaper to prevent than to litigate. We handle formation, contracts, governance and compliance for Florida companies, and step in when a deal or a partnership goes wrong.
The Elliot Legal Group is a Fort Lauderdale business law firm led by attorney Gavin T. Elliot, for Florida companies, their owners, out-of-state owners and international clients. The firm handles entity formation, operating and shareholder agreements, contracts, governance and compliance, and the purchase or sale of a business. Some companies use the firm as their outside general counsel. When a deal or a relationship breaks down — an unpaid contract, a vendor dispute, a partner or shareholder conflict — the same firm handles the business litigation rather than handing you off.

It depends on the business, the owners and what they need to agree on. The firm handles formation together with the operating or shareholder agreement, so ownership, management and exit terms are written down from the start. The first step is an Initial Case Assessment with our team; legal advice comes from the attorney once the firm is engaged.
Formation, contracts, governance, compliance, transactions, and disputes when they come up. If your matter isn't listed on this page, ask.
Fees depend on the type and complexity of the matter. The firm explains its fees and the scope of the work, and puts the engagement terms in writing, before work begins.
The firm considers contract, partnership, shareholder, vendor and supplier disputes, as well as business fraud and misrepresentation claims for Florida companies and owners. The attorney assesses conflicts, the facts and the proposed scope before accepting a matter. Depending on the engagement, work may include a demand letter, negotiation, settlement or litigation. The firm does not handle personal injury, criminal, family or immigration matters.
The firm considers ongoing outside general counsel engagements for business contracts, vendor and customer issues, governance and disputes. Availability, scope, fees and any exclusions are agreed in writing before work begins.
