Florida Business Litigation: Protecting Your Rights in Complex Disputes

Business disputes can arise in many forms, from breaches of contract and fraud to securities violations and whistleblower claims. In Florida, business litigation plays a crucial role in ensuring that companies, investors, and individuals are treated fairly under the law. Navigating these legal challenges requires experienced representation, especially when dealing with complex statutes and regulatory bodies. Rabin Kammerer Johnson are trusted Florida business litigation lawyers that provides strategic legal counsel and aggressive advocacy in a wide range of business-related disputes.

Business Litigation Laws and Key Considerations

Florida’s business landscape is dynamic and competitive, making legal disputes inevitable. Business litigation covers a wide range of conflicts that arise in corporate and commercial dealings, from breach of contract to shareholder disputes. Whether you are a business owner, partner, or shareholder, ensuring your rights are protected is essential for maintaining the integrity of your business. Rabin Kammerer Johnson has the experience and legal expertise to guide businesses through complex litigation matters and achieve favorable outcomes.

Florida business litigation is governed by a combination of state statutes, federal laws, and contract principles. Some key legal concepts in Florida business disputes include:

  • Breach of Contract – Businesses frequently engage in disputes over contractual obligations. Florida law allows plaintiffs to recover damages when a party fails to uphold its contractual commitments.
  • Tortious Interference – If a third party improperly interferes with a business relationship or contract, legal action can be taken to recover damages.
  • Non-Compete Agreements – Florida law allows enforcement of non-compete agreements, but they must be reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area.
  • Shareholder and Partnership Disputes – Disagreements among business owners over control, financial distributions, or breaches of fiduciary duty often lead to litigation.
  • Trade Secrets and Intellectual Property Protection – Businesses rely on trade secret protections under the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act (FUTSA) to prevent unfair competition.

Florida courts recognize both compensatory and punitive damages in business litigation. In some cases, injunctive relief is granted to prevent ongoing harm, such as enforcing a non-compete agreement or stopping deceptive business practices. Understanding these laws and how they apply to specific cases requires legal expertise, which Rabin Kammerer Johnson provides to businesses and individuals across Florida.

Breach of Contract

Contracts form the foundation of business transactions, setting the terms and obligations for all parties involved. When one party fails to uphold their end of the agreement, a breach of contract claim may arise. Florida law recognizes three types of contract breaches:

  • Material Breach – A significant violation that undermines the core of the agreement.
  • Minor Breach – A partial failure that does not completely negate the contract.
  • Anticipatory Breach – One party indicates they will not fulfill their obligations before the due date.

Florida contract law follows the principle of compensatory damages, where the injured party is entitled to monetary relief for losses incurred due to the breach. In some cases, courts may enforce specific performance, requiring the breaching party to fulfill their obligations. Rabin Kammerer Johnson assists businesses in analyzing contract disputes, pursuing legal remedies, and ensuring that agreements are properly enforced.

Non-Compete Agreements and Disputes

Non-compete agreements are essential for protecting a company’s confidential information, trade secrets, and client relationships. Florida law allows non-compete clauses, but they must meet certain requirements under Florida Statute § 542.335, which mandates that they must be reasonable in:

  • Duration
  • Geographic scope
  • Business interests being protected

If a non-compete agreement is too restrictive or unfairly limits an employee’s future employment opportunities, courts may modify or invalidate it. Rabin Kammerer Johnson represents businesses enforcing non-compete agreements and individuals challenging unfair restrictions, ensuring compliance with Florida’s laws while protecting business interests.

LLC Breakups & Disputes

Limited liability companies (LLCs) are structured to provide flexibility in ownership and management, but disputes among members can disrupt operations. Common reasons for LLC disputes include:

  • Disagreements over financial distributions
  • Management conflicts
  • Allegations of mismanagement or fraud
  • Failure to uphold fiduciary duties

Under the Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act (F.S. Chapter 605), an LLC breakup can occur through voluntary dissolution, judicial dissolution, or member buyouts. When disputes escalate, legal intervention may be necessary to protect business interests and ensure a fair resolution. Rabin Kammerer Johnson helps LLC members navigate disputes, negotiate buyouts, and pursue litigation if necessary.

Business Disputes

Business disputes can arise in a variety of forms, affecting operations, finances, and reputation. Common business disputes include:

  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Misappropriation of trade secrets
  • Vendor and supplier disagreements
  • Partnership conflicts

Florida courts encourage alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, such as mediation and arbitration, to resolve business conflicts without prolonged litigation. However, when ADR fails, litigation may be necessary to protect a business’s rights and interests. Rabin Kammerer Johnson aggressively represents clients in business disputes, ensuring their rights are upheld and financial interests are safeguarded.

Shareholder Disputes

Shareholder disputes can disrupt corporate governance and impact business profitability. These conflicts often arise from:

  • Disagreements over dividend distributions
  • Mismanagement of company resources
  • Oppression of minority shareholders
  • Fraudulent financial practices

Florida law provides protections for shareholders under the Florida Business Corporation Act (F.S. Chapter 607), which outlines remedies for shareholders facing corporate misconduct, including derivative lawsuits and involuntary dissolution. Rabin Kammerer Johnson helps shareholders assert their rights, resolve conflicts, and pursue legal action against corporate wrongdoing.

Tortious Interference with Business Relationships and Contracts

When a third party intentionally disrupts a business relationship or contract, it can lead to significant financial losses. Florida law recognizes tortious interference as a legal claim when:

  1. A valid business relationship or contract exists.
  2. A third party knowingly interferes with that relationship.
  3. The interference results in economic harm.

Tortious interference can occur in various business transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, and client agreements. Remedies may include compensatory damages or injunctive relief to prevent further harm. Rabin Kammerer Johnson helps businesses take legal action against wrongful interference, protecting their contracts and relationships.

Electronic Discovery in Business Litigation

Electronic discovery (e-discovery) plays a crucial role in modern business litigation. As digital communication and data storage have become standard, legal disputes often require retrieving and analyzing electronic evidence, such as:

  • Emails and text messages
  • Financial records and contracts
  • Social media posts
  • Metadata and server logs

Florida follows the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, which include guidelines for e-discovery in litigation. Failure to preserve electronic evidence can lead to legal consequences, including sanctions for spoliation. Rabin Kammerer Johnson provides expertise in handling electronic discovery, ensuring that digital evidence is properly collected, preserved, and presented in court.

Florida Business Litigation FAQs

What types of business disputes commonly lead to litigation in Florida?

Business disputes in Florida often arise from breach of contract, non-compete violations, shareholder disagreements, partnership disputes, and tortious interference with business relationships. Other common litigation issues include fraud, misrepresentation, and disputes over intellectual property rights.

How does Florida law handle non-compete agreements in business litigation?

Florida law, under Florida Statute § 542.335, allows non-compete agreements but requires them to be reasonable in duration, geographic scope, and the legitimate business interests they protect. If an agreement is overly restrictive, a court may modify or void it. Businesses seeking to enforce or challenge a non-compete agreement should seek legal guidance.

What legal remedies are available for breach of contract in Florida?

If a contract is breached, the non-breaching party may seek monetary damages, specific performance (requiring the breaching party to fulfill their obligations), or rescission (canceling the contract). Florida courts may also award attorney’s fees if specified in the contract.

How are LLC disputes resolved under Florida law?

LLC disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Florida’s Revised Limited Liability Company Act (F.S. Chapter 605) allows for judicial dissolution if members can no longer work together. Courts may also enforce buyout provisions or hold members accountable for misconduct.

What should a business do if accused of violating a non-compete agreement?

If accused of violating a non-compete agreement, a business should review the contract’s enforceability and determine whether the restrictions are reasonable under Florida law. Seeking legal representation is crucial to defending against enforcement actions and negotiating fair resolutions.

Can a shareholder file a lawsuit against a company in Florida?

Yes, under the Florida Business Corporation Act (F.S. Chapter 607), shareholders can file lawsuits for mismanagement, fraud, or oppression by majority shareholders. They may also bring derivative lawsuits on behalf of the company if corporate officers are engaging in wrongful conduct.

What is tortious interference, and how does it impact business litigation?

Tortious interference occurs when a third party intentionally disrupts an existing business relationship or contract, causing economic harm. In Florida, businesses can sue for damages if they can prove that the interference was unjustified and directly led to financial losses.

How is electronic discovery (e-discovery) used in Florida business litigation?

E-discovery involves collecting, analyzing, and presenting digital evidence, including emails, financial records, and metadata. Florida courts follow specific e-discovery rules, and businesses must properly preserve electronic records to avoid sanctions for evidence destruction (spoliation).

Can a business dispute be resolved without going to court in Florida?

Yes, Florida courts encourage alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation and arbitration. These approaches can help resolve disputes faster and more cost-effectively than litigation while keeping business matters confidential.

1How can a business litigation attorney help with Florida business disputes?

A business litigation attorney can assess legal risks, negotiate settlements, enforce contracts, and represent clients in court. They help businesses protect their financial interests, navigate complex disputes, and ensure compliance with Florida business laws.

Whistleblower Claims in Florida

Whistleblowers play a vital role in exposing corporate misconduct, fraud against the government, and regulatory violations. Florida law, along with federal statutes such as the False Claims Act (FCA) and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, protects whistleblowers from retaliation while offering potential financial rewards for exposing wrongdoing.

Common whistleblower cases in Florida involve:

  • Healthcare fraud, including Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud
  • Securities and investment fraud
  • Government contract fraud
  • Tax fraud or financial misrepresentation

Whistleblowers may file qui tam lawsuits, where they bring a claim on behalf of the government against an entity engaged in fraudulent activities. If successful, the whistleblower may receive a percentage of the recovered funds. However, reporting fraud can be risky, making it essential to have legal representation to protect against retaliation and maximize potential rewards. Rabin Kammerer Johnson has extensive experience representing whistleblowers and ensuring their rights are upheld throughout the legal process.

Fraud Litigation: Fighting Deceptive Business Practices

Fraud in business transactions can lead to serious financial losses for individuals and companies. Florida business litigation attorneys frequently handle fraud claims involving:

  • Misrepresentation and deceptive business practices
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Corporate fraud
  • Embezzlement or financial misconduct

Under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA), businesses and individuals that engage in misleading or deceptive practices can be held accountable. This law provides remedies for victims, including monetary damages and injunctive relief to prevent further harm.

Additionally, Florida law recognizes both actual fraud (intentional misrepresentation) and constructive fraud (misrepresentation due to a breach of duty). Proving fraud requires demonstrating that the defendant knowingly made false statements that caused financial harm to the plaintiff. Because fraud cases often involve complex financial records and deceptive conduct, businesses and individuals need skilled legal counsel. Rabin Kammerer Johnson has successfully prosecuted and defended fraud claims, helping clients recover losses and safeguard their interests.

Securities Arbitration and Litigation in Florida

The securities industry is highly regulated, and disputes frequently arise between investors, brokers, and financial institutions. Many securities disputes are resolved through arbitration rather than traditional litigation, particularly if an investor has signed an arbitration agreement with a brokerage firm. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) oversees securities arbitration, providing an alternative to courtroom litigation.

Common securities disputes include:

  • Stockbroker misconduct and misrepresentation
  • Unauthorized trading
  • Churning (excessive trading to generate commissions)
  • Breach of fiduciary duty by financial advisors
  • Ponzi schemes and investment fraud

While arbitration can be faster and less expensive than litigation, it is still a complex process that requires strategic legal representation. Investors who suffer losses due to broker misconduct or fraudulent investment schemes may be entitled to financial compensation. Rabin Kammerer Johnson has a proven track record of advocating for investors in both arbitration and litigation, holding financial professionals accountable for their misconduct.

Whistleblower & Qui Tam Cases

Whistleblower & Qui Tam Cases

The attorneys at Rabin Kammerer Johnson have a proven track record of successful whistleblower and qui tam actions that are national in scope and impact. These actions are based on fraud that is being committed against the federal and state governments, which pay out billions of dollars every year for healthcare benefits, contracts, loans, reimbursements, and emergency funding based upon false claims. The federal and state governments want to recover these taxpayer funds but often require tips from whistleblowers that will help them investigate the wrongdoers.

The following are some examples of the types of qui tam and whistleblower actions our firm handles:

  • Medicare & Medicaid fraud
  • Pharmaceutical fraud
  • Government contract fraud, including overcharging, overbilling, and providing defective goods
  • SEC fraud & violations of securities laws
  • IRS fraud/tax evasion
  • Construction and procurement fraud
  • Research grant and incentive fraud
  • Fraud related to funding new and renewable energy
  • Defense contractor fraud
  • Veteran affairs fraud

Our whistleblower and qui tam attorneys will guide you through the process of filing an action under seal or preparing a whistleblower complaint under the SEC and IRS whistleblower programs.

We will guide you through the process of filing an action under the federal False Claims Act and provide representation throughout the course of the litigation, whether your participation is limited to supporting the Government or if you are put in the role of taking the lead in prosecuting a claim on the Government’s behalf.

Our Florida whistleblower law firm is national in scope and results. If you are aware of significant Government fraud anywhere in the United States, we want to help you.

We also handle cases arising under the Florida False Claims Act and other laws that protect state and local governments against fraud.

What is Fraud?

While most of us have heard about fraud, many are unaware of what it actually encompasses. Fraud is a legal term that refers to the use of intentional deception or dishonesty to obtain an unauthorized benefit. While there are both state and federal laws in place that aim to protect people from being taken advantage of in this way, thousands of individuals still find themselves the victims of fraud everyday. Fortunately, it is possible to hold companies and individuals accountable for their use of deceptive or dishonest tactics, so if you were the victim of a fraudulent act, it is important to reach out to an experienced Florida fraud lawyer who can help you seek compensation for your losses.

Types of Fraud

There are a number of different types of fraud, but the most common include:

  • Medicare/Medicaid fraud, which occurs when a healthcare provider bills for services that were not provided, charges for unnecessary services or treatment, or pays third parties for patient referrals;
  • Military/government fraud, which consists of fraudulent acts in connection with obtaining a government contract, or in regards to federal programs like public housing;
  • Embezzlement, which occurs when a person or entity misappropriates assets that were entrusted to them;
  • Forgery, which involves the unlawful imitation of an object of value with the intent to deceive and includes offenses such as falsifying contracts or signing someone else’s name on a check;
  • Fraudulent financial reporting, which involves intentionally misrepresenting a firm’s financial statements to give investors a false impression of the company’s performance and profitability;
  • Identity theft, which involves the unauthorized use of a person’s identifying information for economic gain;
  • Money laundering, or concealing the origins of funds obtained illegally through a sequence of transactions and banking transfers;
  • Securities fraud, which occurs when an investor is induced to make purchase or sale decisions based on false information; and
  • Mail fraud, which involves the use of the U.S. mails to perpetrate a crime of deceit.

Both state and federal law criminalize this type of conduct, so defendants who are convicted of fraud face serious penalties, including jail time, fines, and restitution.

Elements of Fraud

To prove that someone committed fraud, a plaintiff will need to provide a court with convincing proof that:

  • The defendant purposely misrepresented a material fact despite knowing that the information was false or deceptive or otherwise intentionally misled the plaintiff;
  • The plaintiff relied on the defendant’s misrepresentation; and
  • The plaintiff suffered an actual loss as a result of that reliance.

The evidence needed to prove that these elements have been fulfilled can include everything from business records and financial documentation to testimony and complaint letters. Collecting this evidence can, however, be a complicated endeavor, so if you believe that you were the victim of fraud, please call our office to begin investigating your claim.

Reporting Florida Medicare Fraud

Medicare fraud is usually committed by medical practitioners, hospitals, and medical equipment suppliers that claim money from the Medicare program for services that they don’t actually provide. Although it is possible to file a claim against those who commit Medicare fraud, doing so can be difficult, so if you have questions about filing a lawsuit against a healthcare provider or hospital for Medicare fraud, please contact an experienced Florida medicare fraud lawyer today.

What is Medicare Fraud?

Medicare fraud can take a number of different forms, but most often involves:

  • Upcoding, which occurs when a healthcare provider bills at a higher code than is permitted;
  • Billing for services that aren’t necessary or weren’t even provided;
  • Unbundling services, which occurs when a provider submits separate bills for lab services that should actually be billed as a single group;
  • Billing non-covered services as covered services; and
  • Soliciting, offering, or receiving a kickback in exchange for a referral.

While some hospitals and healthcare providers use these same methods against insurance companies, the reward program authorized by the False Claims Act only issues monetary awards for reports of fraud committed against Medicare programs. This means that if a hospital was upcoding for most of its patients, the reward program would only issue compensation based on the fraud committed specifically against Medicare recipients.

Filing a Whistleblower Complaint

Whistleblowers who have knowledge of Medicare fraud can file a complaint under the False Claims Act, which rewards whistleblowers with between 15 and 30 percent of what the government collects from the at-fault provider. However, to receive a reward, a complainant must hire an attorney to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. The complaining party will also need to provide the government with details and specific evidence of the fraudulent act. Rewards are collected most often by those who work for the hospital or healthcare provider who committed the fraud.

How to Report Medicare Fraud

Whistleblowers who report Medicare fraud must file a qui tam application under the False Claims Act with the aid of an attorney that contains detailed evidence of the fraudulent activity in question. It’s important to note that while the Office of Inspector General does accept complaints regarding Medicare fraud, they do not provide the complainant with a reward. Instead, whistleblowers should file a complaint directly with a federal district court, which will keep the case “under seal” until the government has completed an investigation, at which point, it will decide whether or not to intervene in the case. If successful, a complainant could receive a reward of between 15 and 25 percent of the amount recovered by the government.

Florida False Claims Act

The federal government recovers billions of dollars in fraudulent billings and overpayments every year under the False Claims Act, which allows private persons to blow the whistle and bring lawsuits on behalf of the government. Yet it is not only the federal government which is constantly being defrauded. The state of Florida has its own False Claims Act mirroring the federal law and providing a way for individuals to sue and help recover fraud against Florida state government entities. The attorneys at Rabin Kammerer Johnson are authorities on the Florida False Claims Act. Read on for more information about this important state law, and contact Rabin Kammerer Johnson for assistance in a Florida False Claims Act whistleblower case.

The Florida False Claims Act (FFCA) can be found in Florida statutes sections 68.081 through 68.092. This law prohibits false or fraudulent claims made to or paid by the “state.” Although originally only applying to executive agencies of the state government, amendments were made to the law so that now “state” is defined more broadly.

Illegal Acts under the FFCA

The FFCA prohibits persons and companies who do business with the state from engaging in many different types of fraudulent activity, including the following (among others):

  • Knowingly presenting a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval
  • Knowingly making or using false records or statements material to a false or fraudulent claim
  • Knowingly making or using false records or statements material to an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the state
  • Knowingly concealing or knowingly and improperly avoiding or decreasing an obligation to pay or transmit money or property to the state
  • Conspiring to do any of the above

In making a false claim, the claim does not always have to be made directly to the government. For instance, a subcontractor could present a false claim to the general contractor, knowing that the subcontractor will be paid with government money. The subcontractor in this instance is guilty of violating the FFCA. Similarly, a subcontractor violates the FFCA when intending to defraud the general contractor on a government contract; intent to defraud the government directly is not required.

Penalties for Violating the FFCA

Those found in violation of the FFCA can be liable to the government for a statutory fine between $5,500 and $11,000 per violation, along with treble damages, or three times the amount of actual financial loss caused to the government.

Procedure for Blowing the Whistle and Filing a Lawsuit under the FFCA

If you are a whistleblower with knowledge of a Florida False Claims Act violation, the first step is to hire a lawyer who knows how to bring a whistleblower case.   The lawyer will help you notify the Florida Attorney General and/or the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the alleged misconduct. All material evidence and information should be disclosed at this time. A sealed complaint is filed in the Second Judicial Circuit court in Leon County, and the AG or CFO has 60 days to review the matter and decide whether or not to intervene.

If the state intervenes and prosecutes the violator, the whistleblower (also known as the relator) will receive 15 to 25% of any award recovered, depending upon the level of the relator’s participation in the action.

If the state declines to intervene, the relator can pursue the matter on behalf of the government. In this case, the relator will receive 25-30% of any award. This amount can be reduced if the relator was also somehow involved in planning or initiating the wrongful conduct.

Securities Arbitration & Litigation

Securities Arbitration & Litigation

Rabin Kammerer Johnson represents investors in claims against securities broker-dealers, financial advisory firms, and investment advisors who have mismanaged their clients’ assets or caused investment losses. These claims are typically subject to mandatory arbitration before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) before which the firm has significant experience.

Our firm helps investors recover losses arising from:

  • Unsuitable investments: When an advisor or broker recommends that an investor buy or sell securities inconsistent with the investor’s investment objectives or risk tolerance.
  • Misrepresentation: When an advisor or broker misrepresents or fails to disclose material facts regarding the risk of an investment
  • Improper asset allocation: When an advisor or broker recommends a high-risk allocation of an investor’s assets without proper diversification across asset classes, i.e., equities, bonds, and cash
  • Unauthorized trading: When an advisor or broker purchases or sells securities in a “nondiscretionary” brokerage account without the investor’s approval
  • Churning: When an advisor or broker engages in the excessive trading of securities in an investor’s account to maximize commissions

Filing a case with FINRA is not like filing a case in court. FINRA cases are usually decided by a panel of three arbitrators in a conference room, not decided by a judge or jury in a courtroom. An investor’s ability to recover his or her investment losses requires an attorney who knows FINRA rules and procedures and how financial industry lawyers will defend the case.

In addition to the firm’s practice before FINRA, it also handles securities litigation in court, including individual and corporate claims and class actions under federal and Florida securities laws.
