Florida Mergers, Conversions, and Restructuring

Companies outgrow their first structure. You may need to convert an LLC to a corporation before raising money, combine two entities, move a company to Florida, or separate a risky line of business. We plan and carry out the change.

Matters we handle

  • Converting between LLCs, corporations, and partnerships
  • Mergers of affiliated companies
  • Moving a company’s domicile to or from Florida
  • Holding company and subsidiary structures
  • Reorganizations before a sale or capital raise
  • Owner and lender consents
  • Protected series LLC structures
  • Updating contracts, licenses, and registrations after the change

Florida law at a glance

  • Chapter 605 (LLCs), Chapter 607 (corporations), and Chapter 620 (partnerships), Florida Statutes, set out the approvals and filings for mergers, conversions, and domestications.
  • Most of these changes require approval by the owners under the statute or the company’s governing documents, and a filing with the Division of Corporations.
  • Contracts, leases, licenses, and permits may need consent or reissuance when the entity changes. Those are reviewed before the filing, not after.

General information about Florida law, not legal advice about your situation. Deadlines and requirements depend on the facts and the documents involved.
