Two New Florida Practice Guides on Business Torts and Contract Litigation
Check out the newest editions to our growing Practice Guide series in Florida!  These concise “how-to” manuals - available both online and in print – allow you to dive quickly into pertinent issues regarding Florida business torts and contract litigation, and provide a list of steps you need to address your particular question.

LexisNexis Practice Guide: Florida Business Torts provides comprehensive and practical coverage of antitrust, fraud, trade secrets and other frequently litigated business torts. The task-based format provides practice tips created by expert Florida practitioners, including strategic points, warnings, and traps, on topics ranging from identifying actionable unfair competition to selecting remedies for fraud claims to defending against cybersquatting. Other features include checklists, core cases, and extensive forms, including sample complaints.

LexisNexis Practice Guide: Florida Contract Litigation, authored by the well known and well respected Barry Davidson takes you step-by-step through the process of litigating cases involving contract claims, including the potential causes of actions, remedies, and defenses for a contract claim. It also covers procedural topics such as jurisdiction, discovery, and alternative dispute resolution. This guide simplifies the process of litigating a contract case by identifying the essential elements and setting them out in a comprehensive yet easy to understand way.  Additionally, you benefit from practical advice and strategy given by experienced practitioners and judges, and includes forms of the types of filings that attorneys are most likely to use in a contract litigation case.

Both guides are integrated with the LexisNexis Total Research System to provide easy access to relevant online resources, including public records, LexisNexis Practice Guide series for Florida, Matthew Bender analytical materials, Florida and national news sources, and more.
