I am an active member of The Florida Bar, having successfully passed the Florida Bar Examination in September 2023.

I focus my own practice on business and estate planning matters, including entity formation, corporate governance and compliance, commercial transactions, and long-term planning for individuals, families, and business owners. My estate planning practice focuses on helping individuals and families protect their assets, plan for incapacity, and ensure their wishes are carried out with clarity and confidence. I regularly prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and related planning documents, and I take a personalized, practical approach to each plan—ensuring it reflects the client’s goals, family dynamics, and long-term needs while remaining fully compliant with Florida law.

Business Contracts Legal Questions and Answers

Business Contracts

Loan Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jun 8, 2024

Can a lender increase the interest rate on a loan after the loan agreement has been signed?

I recently signed a loan agreement with a lender for a personal loan. The agreement clearly states the interest rate that I will be charged for the duration of the loan. However, I have recently received a notification from the lender stating that they are increasing the interest rate due to changes in the market. I am confused and concerned about whether this is legal, as I believe the terms of the loan agreement should be binding. I would like to know if the lender has the right to increase the interest rate after the loan agreement has been signed.

Diane D.

Answered Jul 16, 2024

It depends on your policy. Interest rates for personal loans are either fixed or variable. The fixed rate remains constant throughout the loan. However, variable rates may be increased or decreased, based on market changes.

Joint Venture Agreement

Florida

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

How to split debt in a joint venture?

I am currently in a joint venture with another company to pursue a business opportunity. As part of our venture, we have incurred debt that we need to repay. However, I am unsure of how to fairly split the debt between the two companies, especially if one company has contributed more resources or expertise to the venture than the other. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to better understand the legal and financial considerations involved in splitting debt in a joint venture.

Donya G.

Answered Mar 28, 2023

This can be done by agreement of the parties. Typically it can be done in the same way profits are split or depending on how much the parties are contributing to the JV. If you need assistance with the JV agreement, I can help. You can find me on the contracts counsel website to engage my services. All the best Donya Gordon

Employee Contract

Florida

Asked on Aug 17, 2025

Are non-compete clauses enforceable in employment agreements for key employees?

I am a small business owner and I am in the process of drafting employment agreements for key employees in my company. I have heard about non-compete clauses being included in employment contracts to protect the company's interests, but I am unsure about their enforceability. I would like to know if non-compete clauses are legally binding and enforceable in employment agreements for key employees, and if so, what factors should I consider when drafting such clauses to ensure their enforceability?

Randy M.

Answered Sep 11, 2025

As of September 2025, non-compete agreements are governed almost entirely by state law. The Federal Trade Commission’s 2024 rule banning most non-competes was vacated by a federal court, and the FTC dismissed its appeals in September 2025. That rule has no legal effect today. Employers must analyze enforceability under the laws of the state where the employee works. General Standards Courts in states that allow non-competes usually apply a four-part framework. First, the restriction must protect a legitimate business interest such as trade secrets, confidential information, customer goodwill, or recouping significant training investments. Second, the agreement must be reasonable in scope. Duration is typically upheld if it’s between six months and one year, with two years sometimes permitted for employees with access to highly sensitive information. Third, the geographic reach must reflect the employee’s actual influence. A regional sales manager might reasonably be restricted within their sales territory, but a nationwide restriction is rarely upheld unless the business operates nationally. Fourth, there must be adequate consideration. A job offer is usually sufficient for a new hire. For existing employees, most states require something more, such as a raise, bonus, equity grant, or promotion. State Variations Enforceability depends heavily on jurisdiction. California, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and North Dakota prohibit most employment-related non-competes. The District of Columbia bans non-competes for covered employees but allows them for “highly compensated” employees if salary thresholds and notice requirements are satisfied. Illinois prohibits non-competes for employees earning less than $75,000 and non-solicits for those earning less than $45,000, with both thresholds scheduled to increase every five years. Washington prohibits non-competes for employees earning below an indexed threshold, which for 2025 is $123,394.17 for employees and $308,485.43 for independent contractors. Colorado allows non-competes only for highly compensated workers tied to trade secret protection and imposes civil penalties for violations. Massachusetts requires employers to provide either garden-leave pay or other mutually agreed consideration, as well as advance notice and specific contractual language. Florida and Texas remain relatively favorable to employers. Florida’s CHOICE Act, effective July 2025, creates a presumption of enforceability for employees earning more than twice the mean annual wage in the county of employment, which currently falls between $80,000 and $100,000 depending on location. Texas continues to enforce non-competes that are “ancillary to” an otherwise enforceable agreement and reasonable in time, area, and scope. 2025 Legislative Changes Several states enacted new restrictions this year for healthcare professionals. Louisiana’s Act 273 limits physician non-competes to three years for primary care physicians and five years for others, with geographic restrictions tied to the parish of practice and two contiguous parishes. Maryland’s House Bill 1388 prohibits non-competes for healthcare providers earning $350,000 or less and limits non-competes for higher earners to one year and 10 miles. Pennsylvania’s Fair Contracting for Health Care Practitioners Act, effective January 2025, voids most non-competes longer than one year for covered practitioners but allows them in connection with the sale of a practice. Drafting Considerations To increase the chances of enforceability, tailor the agreement to the employee’s actual role and responsibilities. Define restricted activities with precision. For example, prohibit solicitation of clients the employee serviced in the past year rather than a blanket ban on working in the industry. Limit the geographic scope to the area where the company does business or where the employee had influence. Use a duration tied to the legitimate interest you’re protecting. Document the consideration provided if the agreement is signed mid-employment. Include a severability or reformation clause, but don’t assume a court will automatically rewrite an overbroad provision. Comply with procedural rules: Massachusetts requires ten business days’ notice before the start date, Washington requires disclosure before an offer is accepted, and other states have mandatory notices. For multi-state workforces, use jurisdiction-specific riders rather than one universal agreement. Alternatives and Complements Because non-competes are increasingly limited, employers should use complementary protections. Confidentiality and trade secret agreements are enforceable nationwide. Non-solicitation provisions are often easier to enforce, though some states impose income thresholds for these as well. Garden-leave provisions, where the employee is paid during the restricted period, can strengthen enforceability and may be required in certain jurisdictions. Training-repayment agreements are another tool but must be drafted carefully to avoid appearing punitive. The Final Analysis If you’re weighing whether a non-compete or a related restriction is right for your business, it’s smart to have an attorney review the agreement before relying on it. State laws differ widely, and even well-intentioned clauses can be struck down if they’re not drafted carefully. On Contracts Counsel, you can connect with an experienced employment lawyer who can draft or refine an agreement that protects your interests while complying with current legal standards.

Graphic Design Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 3, 2025

Is it necessary to have a written Graphic Design Agreement for freelance projects?

I am a freelance graphic designer who often takes on various projects for clients. While I have typically relied on verbal agreements or informal emails to outline the project scope, deliverables, and payment terms, I recently had a negative experience where a client disputed our agreed-upon terms. This incident made me wonder if it is essential to have a written Graphic Design Agreement in place to protect both parties' rights and ensure clear communication and expectations from the beginning of a project.

Ralph S.

Answered Jul 25, 2025

It is highly recommended, but it is not necessary (ie required by law) to have a written agreement in most circumstances. But, as in with any handshake agreement- it will hard to figure out if there's a misunderstanding or something goes wrong. You end up in court, having people give testimony about what was and what wasn't the deal, and you're asking the judge/jury to go through your emails to try to get an understanding. Not to mention, an agreement can force things like mediation and arbitration to makes things easy. Also, without a writing you can both be wrong about your understanding of what the deal was, nobody being at blame. Litigating is never simple or easy or fast. Unless it's in small claims. Making it easy on yourself or your future lawyer can help you avoid a lot of future headache.
