# Florida Business Litigation

The Campbell Law Group P.A., 2121 Ponce de León Suite 540, Coral Gables, FL 33134. General information about Florida law, not legal advice.

### My company was just served with a lawsuit in Florida. What should I do first?

Do not ignore the papers. Note the response deadline, preserve documents and messages about the dispute, and have a Florida business litigator review the complaint before you call the other side. Missing a deadline can lead to a default. https://www.tclgfirm.com/practice-areas/business-litigation This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice, and it does not predict or guarantee any outcome.

### How much does it cost to sue another business in Florida, and how long does it take?

There is no single price or timeline. A case that settles after a demand letter can finish in weeks. A case that goes through discovery and trial in Florida circuit court often takes many months and can take years. Miami-Dade’s Complex Business Litigation section assigns judges who hear only complex business cases, which tends to move those matters faster than a general civil docket. Cost depends on the claims, the evidence, and whether the case settles. https://www.tclgfirm.com/practice-areas/business-litigation This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice, and it does not predict or guarantee any outcome.

### What evidence should I preserve when a Florida business dispute starts?

Preserve contracts, emails, texts, financial records, and anything you would normally delete on a schedule. Altering or discarding evidence after a dispute starts can hurt the case and, in some situations, create a separate problem. https://www.tclgfirm.com/practice-areas/business-litigation This is general information about Florida law, not legal advice, and it does not predict or guarantee any outcome.
