Corporate Governance & Management

Brown & Brown’s legal representation of your business does not have to end after your company has been created.  In fact, many of our long-time clients are business owners who have chosen to have us to represent their interests in a variety of areas long after their business was up and running.  Most companies will have to review and negotiate contracts with other business owners and employees – Brown & Brown has experience working out the details of these often intricate documents, whether it involves drafting the initial contract or agreement or reviewing a contract from another company.  We will give you the analysis that you need to make a well-reasoned decision, and we can aid you with negotiating additional contractual provisions that protect your rights and assure a fair resolution if conflicts arise later on. 

When problems do arise, either between your business and another company or internally, our experienced litigators can help.  We have helped business owners fight for their rights for years, and we stand by our clients from the initial indication that there is a problem through resolution.  Since our goal is to resolve your dispute as quickly as possible while protecting your interests, our first response to a problem is typically negotiation with the other parties, and we have a reputation as fair, yet firm, advocates for our business clients.  Should negotiation fail, we have significant experience litigating a variety of corporate matters, from contractual disputes to personal injury defense and construction arbitration.  

Finally, we often help our business clients conduct their annual meetings and prepare detailed corporate minutes and other business records.  Brown & Brown can help you to keep track of important filing deadlines, make sure that your stockholders meetings are held pursuant to your corporate bylaws, and we can assist you when it comes time to submit annual reports to the Secretary of State in order to stay in good standing.  If you have a pre-existing business but may have been remiss with your corporate filings, we can help you to bring your records up-to-date and help you to remain in compliance with the state’s strict corporate filing requirements.
