Fort Lauderdale, Florida General Counsel Lawyer

Attorney Providing Business Law Services in Broward  County and Miami-Dade County

While doing business, a company is likely to encounter a wide variety of legal concerns. While larger corporations may be able to keep an attorney or legal team on staff to address these matters, this is not feasible for many small or mid-size businesses. However, hiring a new attorney to deal with each legal issue that arises can be very inefficient. By working with a business law firm that provides general counsel services, business owners can receive the legal help they need while establishing an ongoing relationship with an attorney who understands their business.

At The Elliot Legal Group, P.A., we provide legal help and representation in a wide variety of business law matters, and we are ready to work with you to build a strategy for success. Over his nearly 20 years of experience, Attorney Gavin Elliot has worked with many different types of businesses, from mom-and-pop operations to Fortune 500 companies. In addition to providing services to businesses in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and other locations in Florida and throughout the United States, he is a licensed solicitor in England and Wales, and he can assist ex-pats and international businesses with their legal needs. We understand how to efficiently and effectively handle the legal concerns your company may face.
