The right counsel turns risk into resilience
Most business problems are cheaper to prevent than to fix. A missing clause, the wrong entity, or a vague partnership arrangement can cost far more later than it would have to get right at the start.
And when a dispute does hit—nonpayment, breach, a partner gone rogue—you need someone who can move quickly and decisively, not start from scratch.
- A handshake deal goes sideways and you have nothing in writing to enforce.
- A customer or partner refuses to pay—and stops returning your calls.
- A co-owner wants out, and there’s no plan for how that happens.
- You formed the business yourself and just learned the structure exposes you personally.

- Contracts written to be enforced
- Fast, decisive dispute resolution

The litigator businesses call when a deal goes bad
We've recovered money for clients stiffed on products and services, won cases for owners taken to court by former partners, and closed clean business sales. Whether you're building or fighting, we bring practical, results-focused advocacy.
“5 stars is not enough! Shaun successfully went after a company that owed my company thousands of dollars for product they received and never paid for. He was very responsive and kept costs low. Highly recommend!”

Business law questions
What does a business law attorney actually do?
A business attorney helps you form your company, draft and review the contracts you rely on, resolve disputes with partners, customers, and vendors, and—when necessary—litigate. At Keough Law, we handle the full lifecycle, from formation through dispute resolution and litigation.
Do you handle both drafting contracts and litigating disputes?
Yes. We draft and negotiate the agreements that keep your business sound, and we litigate when a deal goes bad—breach, nonpayment, fraud, or owner disputes. Having the same firm on both sides means your contracts are written with enforcement in mind.
How do you charge for business law work?
Business law matters—formation, contract drafting and review, disputes, and litigation—are billed hourly at a transparent rate, scoped to your goals so you know the plan before we start. (Trademark and copyright registrations are the exception—those are handled on a flat fee.) We discuss pricing openly during your free consultation.
My business partner and I are in a dispute. Can you help?
Yes. We handle partner, shareholder, and LLC-member disputes—from buyouts and deadlock to breach of fiduciary duty. We look for the most efficient resolution first, but we’re prepared to litigate to protect your interests.
Someone owes my business money and won’t pay. What can I do?
Nonpayment is one of the most common reasons businesses call us. Depending on the situation, we pursue demand letters, negotiation, mechanic’s liens (for construction work), and litigation to recover what you’re owed—often resolving matters before suit.
Do you work with businesses outside Orlando?
Yes. We serve clients throughout Central Florida and statewide, and Shaun Keough is licensed in Florida and Massachusetts. Many matters are handled remotely, with in-person meetings by appointment at our Orlando office.
