Why You Shouldn’t Sign a Contract Without a Florida Attorney
Contracts are everywhere. Leases, employment agreements, business deals, but signing without review can cost you.

Phrases like “as needed” or “reasonable efforts” can lead to disputes.
Hidden fees or penalties 💸
Late fees, early termination charges, or undisclosed costs can add up quickly.
Unbalanced obligations ⚖️
If one party has all the responsibilities or liabilities, that’s a warning sign.
Clauses limiting your options 🚪
Non-compete, exclusivity, or automatic renewal clauses can restrict flexibility.
Missing essential Florida requirements 🏛️
For example, some agreements require notarization or specific disclosures under Florida law.
