Business Halacha
Both systems of law, one counsel. Partnership agreements, heter iska and commercial documents drawn to satisfy halacha and Florida law at once. Wills and estate plans that survive hilchos yerusha and probate alike. Disputes taken to Bais Din, and carried into court when an award needs enforcing. No gap between the two systems for anyone to fall through.
What the firm handles
- Transactions as a one-stop shop: contracts, entities, partnership agreements and real estate drafted to be halachically sound and legally enforceable — heter iska, Shabbos and Yom Tov structuring, ribbis-safe lending
- Estate documents drawn for both systems: wills, trusts and shtar chatzi zachar arrangements that satisfy hilchos yerusha without failing under the Florida probate code — and the litigation when a plan does neither
- Disputes in Bais Din: preparing the case, presenting it, and drafting arbitration agreements so the proceeding is one a court will later respect
- The threshold arkaos question — Bais Din or court — answered before a forum is chosen, not litigated after
- Enforcement where the dispute bleeds into court: confirming a Bais Din ruling as an arbitration award, then garnishing, tracing and collecting on it like any other judgment
- Defense against attempts to unwind or evade a Bais Din award
- Disputes inside communal institutions: schools, shuls and their governing bodies
How the firm approaches it
The weak point in most halachic business arrangements is the seam — a document a posek approved that a judge won’t enforce, or a Bais Din ruling the losing party simply ignores. The firm’s work lives at that seam. Agreements are drafted so the halachic structure and the legal structure are the same structure. Bais Din proceedings are set up from the first signature so the eventual award stands as a binding arbitration award under Florida law. And when a party walks away from a psak, the enforcement practice turns it into a judgment and the judgment into money.
