Business and Commercial Matters

U.S. Corporate Counsel for a French Lighting Technology Company

One of Boyer Law Firm’s clients is the American arm of a French technology group founded in 1987. The group developed early computerized lighting-control systems, later expanded into USB-DMX and IP-based controllers, manufactures in France and China, sells internationally, and operates its U.S. business from Orlando.

Boyer Law Firm’s work has included U.S. entity formation, amendments, corporate structure, and Florida registered-agent services. The practical challenge is keeping the U.S. company aligned with the French parent, international manufacturing relationships, and American distribution arrangements rather than treating the Florida entity as a stand-alone filing.

From One Dealership to a Multi-State Automotive GrouP

A Turkish-born entrepreneur first came to Boyer Law Firm while holding a minority interest in a single dealership joint venture. When that partnership failed, the firm handled the dispute and dissolution. The client later built a new automotive business rather than ending the relationship after the first case.

Over roughly nine years, Boyer Law Firm has handled more than 30 matters for the client, including the operating company, holding entities for different states, separate corporations for franchised dealerships, acquisitions in Florida and Alabama, collections litigation, registered-agent services for multiple entities, a corporate aviation company, and a newer technology venture. The group now operates several dealership locations and employs roughly two hundred people.

Commercial Litigation for a Jacksonville Business That Grew NationallY

A Jacksonville family began selling fermented pickles at the Riverside Arts Market in 2010 using a family recipe. The business later expanded into nationwide shipping, dozens of products, and dedicated retail locations, including a Jacksonville store opened in 2024 and a second St. Augustine location.

Boyer Law Firm has represented the company in commercial litigation, including an out-of-state action in New York. The representation has continued as the business expanded from a local market operation into a larger regional and national brand.

International Litigation and Disputes

Litigation Against Foreign Companies and a State-Owned AirlinE

Boyer Law Firm’s international litigation docket has included disputes involving Bolivia’s state-owned flag carrier, a major container shipping line headquartered in Germany, an Australian proprietary limited company, a Turkish exporter, and a large American brokerage.

Those cases can raise issues that do not appear in an ordinary Florida dispute, including sovereign immunity, service abroad, personal jurisdiction, evidence held overseas, and whether a Florida or U.S. judgment can ultimately be enforced where the opposing party or assets are located. The firm’s work has included international commercial litigation, jurisdictional briefing, service abroad, and judgment enforcement.

Eighteen Related Matters for More Than Ten Foreign Investor EntitieS

A group of mostly French investors placed money into a Florida-managed real estate venture that acquired rental property in Florida and Ohio. The investments moved through numerous limited liability companies, and later transfers made it difficult for individual investors to determine which entity held a particular asset.

Boyer Law Firm represented more than ten investor entities in 18 related matters filed in Palm Beach County. The cases were pursued in several waves as additional investors and transfers came to light. The work included tracing ownership through Florida and Ohio records, reviewing property transfers, coordinating overlapping claims, and advising the investors on what remained recoverable.

Immigration and International Business

When the Company and the E-2 Case Have to Be Built TogetheR

Boyer Law Firm has represented E-2 investors from France, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Canada, Belgium, Morocco, Lebanon, Argentina, Colombia, and other treaty countries. Their businesses have included restaurants, wine shops, patisseries, car washes, cleaning companies, marble importers, logistics operations, fitness studios, and technology consultancies.

For these clients, the company and the immigration case are connected from the start. The operating agreement, ownership split, capital trail, lease, and business plan can all become evidence in the E-2 file. Boyer Law Firm has handled 64 E-2 matters, 172 immigration matters, and formed 226 Florida entities, giving the business and immigration teams experience with both sides of the same investment plan.

International Probate and Foreign Law

Florida Law Opinion for a French NotairE

A French notaire settling an estate that includes a Florida condominium may need a written statement explaining the Florida law that applies before the foreign estate can move forward. The U.S. Embassy does not issue that legal opinion, so the notaire may need a qualified U.S. attorney to put Florida law in writing.

Boyer Law Firm prepares certificats de coutume and affidavits of foreign law for this purpose, including French-language drafting where the receiving authority requires it. The firm also coordinates notarization and apostille formalities and can handle the Florida estate work on the U.S. side when the same family needs both.

International Family Law

Divorce, Custody, and Court Orders Across Two Legal SystemS

Roughly half of Boyer Law Firm’s family matters involve a spouse, child, asset, or court order in another country. The matters have included contested divorces, cross-border custody, Hague Convention return petitions, and efforts to recognize in Florida divorce and support judgments entered abroad.

The firm’s international family-law matters have involved parties from France, Turkey, Belgium, Romania, Morocco, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and other jurisdictions. One matter proceeded through the trial court and later to the Florida Third District Court of Appeal, where the client’s position prevailed on appeal.

Intellectual Property

Trademark Registration and a TTAB Opposition Against a Major BranD

Boyer Law Firm’s trademark work has included beverage brands, a fitness concept, a jewelry company, a tea brand, and a bespoke tailoring business. The firm has handled trademark clearance, federal applications, maintenance, licensing issues, and contested proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.

One matter involved a Florida beverage startup whose federal trademark application was opposed by one of the world’s largest energy-drink companies. Boyer Law Firm represented the startup through the TTAB opposition process and coordinated the defense strategy against a well-resourced opponent.

Cross-Border Real Estate

Florida Property Work for Owners Who Live Thousands of Miles AwaY

The firm’s overseas property work has included a French couple with a Miami Beach condominium, a Canadian owner dealing with a title problem, and a Belgian family inheriting a Florida house they had never seen. In each situation, distance changed a routine property problem because the client could not simply attend a closing, inspect the property, meet a contractor, or appear at a hearing.

Boyer Law Firm’s work for overseas owners has included remote closings, powers of attorney, apostilles, title work, local litigation, FIRPTA withholding recovery, and ancillary administration when an owner dies. The firm handles the Florida side of the matter while the owner remains abroad.

Other Florida Matters

Not Every Client Matter Is InternationaL

The firm’s work also includes more ordinary Florida matters: a contractor seeking payment, a landlord dealing with a tenant who will not leave, a homeowner disputing an association assessment, a small business defending a bank claim, a widow administering a modest estate, and a client seeking a name change.

The firm’s docket also includes construction payment disputes, collections, evictions, association matters, guardianships, prenuptial agreements, and probate administrations. These matters are part of the same practice even when no foreign party or cross-border issue is involved.

2016 – 2022 Client Success Stories

Immigration

B-1 Business Visa for a French Commercial PiloT

A French commercial pilot wanted to establish a specialized business in the United States and needed to be present during the setup period. Boyer Law Firm prepared the B-1 visa application around the client’s documented business purpose rather than treating the visits as ordinary tourism.

The B-1 visa application was approved for the client and his wife, allowing them to move forward with the U.S. business setup.

Green Cards for a Mother and Daughter Relocating From CanadA

A French citizen living in Canada had married a U.S. citizen and planned to relocate to Florida with her youngest daughter. She also needed to be able to work and travel while the permanent-residence cases were pending.

Boyer Law Firm filed the family-based cases for mother and daughter, obtained employment authorization for the mother, and secured advance parole for travel during the process. Both clients ultimately received green cards.

Removal of Conditions on Permanent ResidencE

A French citizen who had received conditional permanent residence through marriage later needed to remove those conditions. Boyer Law Firm filed the required petition and obtained extended documentation while the matter remained under review.

The conditions were removed, allowing the client to continue permanent residence without an interruption in the ability to live and work in the United States.

E-2 Visa and Florida Restaurant Acquisition for a French CheF

A French chef wanted to acquire and renovate a Florida restaurant and planned to invest approximately $500,000. The business purchase and the immigration filing depended on the same underlying transaction, so the contracts, investment documentation, business plan, and visa strategy had to be coordinated.

Boyer Law Firm handled the acquisition work and the E-2 case. The visa was approved, the client relocated to Florida, completed the renovation, and opened the restaurant.

E-2 Visas for Two International Business PartnerS

Two business partners, one based in Hong Kong and the other managing operations in Turkey, wanted to expand a specialized electronics and components business into the United States. They planned to invest $250,000 and both intended to relocate with their families.

Boyer Law Firm formed the Florida LLC, developed the five-year business plan, and prepared separate E-2 investor cases for the two partners. Both visas were approved, and derivative status was granted to qualifying family members.

Business and U.S. Market Entry

Florida Holding Structure for an Overseas French OwneR

A French client living abroad wanted two Florida operating companies under a holding company. Boyer Law Firm formed the holding entity and the two subsidiaries and obtained Employer Identification Numbers for the companies.

The work gave the client a functioning multi-entity structure that could open accounts and begin operating in the U.S. market rather than three disconnected entity filings.

Florida Sister Company for a Canadian BusinesS

A Canadian business owner wanted to extend an established operation into Florida. Boyer Law Firm formed the Florida company, completed the required registrations, and obtained an Employer Identification Number.

The Florida entity was designed to operate alongside the Canadian business while giving the client a separate U.S. structure for Florida transactions.

A Puerto Rico broadband provider expanded its network footprint into South Florida. Boyer Law Firm handled the Florida corporate structure needed for the U.S. mainland expansion.

Additional Business and Regulatory Experience

Federal Regulatory Work for Regulated ProductS

Some business clients could not bring a product to market without federal or state regulatory approval. Boyer Law Firm handled FDA licensing for an e-cigarette manufacturer, later litigation involving the regulatory ruling, and Certificate of Label Approval work for a beverage brand.

The firm’s regulated-product work also included alcohol-import structuring, co-packing and distribution agreements, and related compliance matters.

EB-5 Structures and Investor Due DiligencE

Boyer Law Firm has worked on an EB-5 regional center, prepared investor subscription documents, and structured entities for immigrant-investor matters.

The firm also performed due diligence for investors evaluating proposed EB-5 investments. These matters required the corporate structure, investment documents, and immigration requirements to be reviewed together rather than as unrelated pieces.

Cross-Border Import and Export StructureS

The firm’s international business work during this period included clients moving oil, marble, wine, food products, and consumer goods across borders, as well as export matters reaching Egypt.

The work included questions about how the U.S. entity should interact with a foreign parent, distribution arrangements, customs and tariff treatment, and whether a product qualified for preferential treatment under a trade agreement.

Offshore and Multi-State Corporate StructureS

Boyer Law Firm has established British Virgin Islands entities, managed Delaware and New York compliance alongside Florida filings, and built tiered structures with holding companies and operating subsidiaries in more than one state.

Boyer Law Firm also coordinated annual compliance for client groups with multiple related entities so that the legal structure remained manageable as the businesses expanded.

Franchise, Licensing, and Commercial Agreement WorK

The firm’s business work included franchise matters on both sides of the relationship, including advising a franchisee entering a national system and helping structure a fitness brand’s franchising program.

The same period included licensing agreements, commercial leases, distribution and co-packing agreements, employment documents, and other contracts used in restaurants, retail, beverage, fitness, and related businesses.

Outside General Counsel for Growing CompanieS

Several business clients have used Boyer Law Firm as ongoing outside general counsel rather than for a single transaction. Those multi-year relationships have included automotive retail, behavioral health, construction, food service, technology, and shipping.

The work ranged from contract review and corporate governance to regulatory questions and litigation, allowing the same firm to remain involved as the client’s legal needs changed over time.

Real Estate and Asset Structuring

Remote Florida Property Sale and FIRPTA Withholding RecoverY

A French owner needed to sell a Florida condominium while remaining overseas. Boyer Law Firm coordinated the sale locally, including the real estate agent, preparation for listing, communication during the transaction, and the remote closing. The net proceeds were then transferred to the client in France.

The firm also worked with accounting professionals to pursue the federal FIRPTA withholding taken from the sale proceeds. The withholding was recovered and returned to the client.

Florida LLC and Deed Transfers for a New York Property InvestoR

A New York investor owned several Florida residential properties in his personal name and wanted them held through a Florida LLC. Boyer Law Firm formed the entity and prepared and recorded the individual deed transfers needed to move the properties into the new ownership structure.

The result was a single business structure holding the Florida portfolio rather than multiple properties remaining in the client’s individual name.

Estate Planning

Cross-Border Estate Plan for a Canadian Couple in JacksonvillE

A Canadian couple who had lived in Jacksonville for many years held assets in both Canada and the United States and had no children. They wanted their documents to reflect their wishes across that cross-border financial life.

Civil Litigation and Debt Recovery

Full Recovery in a South Florida Condominium Buyout DisputE

Two Canadian citizens had co-purchased a South Florida condominium with a friend. When they later agreed to sell their share to that friend, the agreed price and accrued interest were to be paid in installments. Payments stopped after the first installment.
