Practice Areas

Civil Litigation

Legal disputes can threaten a client’s health, finances, property, business relationships, and future. Konakovic Law represents individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations in plaintiff- and defense-side civil matters, including personal injury, consumer-protection claims, fraud and deceptive practices, contract disputes, business disputes, property disputes, employment-related claims, and other actions involving financial harm or equitable relief. We handle matters from initial case evaluation and pre-suit demands through negotiation, mediation, litigation, settlement, and trial. Every case receives a strategy tailored to the client’s objectives, the available evidence, the potential recovery or exposure, and the practical costs of litigation.

Business Law

Konakovic Law provides comprehensive legal counsel to entrepreneurs, business owners, companies, boards, and other organizations throughout every stage of operation. We assist with entity selection and formation, operating and shareholder agreements, corporate governance, fiduciary duties, ownership changes, commercial contracts, financing arrangements, purchases and sales, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, employment and vendor matters, and regulatory compliance. We draft, review, and negotiate contracts and other agreements designed to establish clear expectations, allocate responsibility, and protect the client’s interests. When disputes arise, we represent clients in negotiation, mediation, litigation, and trial involving contracts, ownership and partnership conflicts, fiduciary duties, fraud, unfair business practices, and other commercial claims. Whether launching a venture, completing a transaction, managing internal governance, or protecting a business in court, we provide practical guidance aligned with the client’s immediate needs and long-term objectives.

Nonprofit Law

Konakovic Law provides full-service counsel to charities, advocacy organizations, associations, foundations, boards, and other tax-exempt or mission-driven entities, including organizations recognized under Sections 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and 527 of the Internal Revenue Code. We assist with formation, tax-exempt status, bylaws, board and committee structures, fiduciary duties, conflicts of interest, meeting procedures, charitable registrations, fundraising, grants, contracts, lobbying, political activity, and ongoing federal and state compliance. For organizations operating through affiliated entities, we advise on entity separation, shared resources, cost allocation, data use, and appropriate legal and operational boundaries. We also support enterprise risk management through internal policies, document retention, vendor oversight, regulatory assessments, board training, leadership transitions, and internal investigations. Our goal is to help nonprofit leaders advance their missions while strengthening governance and protecting their organizations, tax status, resources, and reputations.

Wills, Trusts, & Estates

Konakovic Law helps individuals and families create comprehensive estate plans that protect their loved ones, preserve their property, and clearly express their wishes. We prepare wills, revocable and other appropriate trusts, durable powers of attorney, health-care surrogate designations, living wills, beneficiary arrangements, and guardianship designations for minor children. We also advise on Florida homestead considerations, incapacity planning, asset-protection strategies, business succession, and the orderly transfer of property outside or through probate. When a loved one passes away, we assist families with probate, trust administration, and related estate matters. Every plan is tailored to the client’s family, assets, concerns, and long-term goals—and can be reviewed as relationships, property, or the law changes.

Campaign Finance Compliance

Konakovic Law advises candidates, political committees, nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups, and other entities participating in the political process. We assist with entity formation and registration, campaign-finance reporting, contributions and expenditures, political advertising and disclaimers, coordination rules, independent expenditures, lobbying requirements, ballot initiatives, and responses to regulatory inquiries. We also develop compliance calendars, internal controls, reporting procedures, recordkeeping practices, and staff guidance tailored to federal, state, and local requirements. For organizations operating through affiliated entities, we advise on entity separation, shared resources, cost allocation, data use, and permissible political activity. Our goal is to help clients participate effectively while maintaining clear, practical, and sustainable compliance systems.

Konakovic Law helps individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and creators protect, manage, and enforce their intellectual property. We assist with trademark selection and clearance, federal and state trademark registrations, copyright registrations, licensing agreements, assignments, work-for-hire provisions, brand-use guidelines, confidentiality protections, and ownership of creative or commercial materials. We also counsel clients regarding unauthorized use, infringement claims, cease-and-desist demands, online takedowns, settlement negotiations, and intellectual-property litigation. Whether developing a new brand, commercializing original work, acquiring intellectual-property rights, or responding to a dispute, we provide practical guidance designed to protect the client’s identity, content, reputation, and long-term value.
