Running a business in Northwest Florida means navigating contracts, leases, acquisitions, and agreements that carry real financial weight.

Our clients include professional service providers, restaurant franchise operators, and business owners who need a trusted contract drafting attorney with deep familiarity in the Gulf Breeze and greater Escambia-Santa Rosa market.

What We Handle

Business Contracts and Commercial Agreements We Work With

Our commercial law practice in Gulf Breeze covers the full range of business transactional needs. We assist clients with professional office acquisitions, including the increasingly complex field of dental and healthcare practice transitions that has seen significant growth over the past five years. We also work with restaurant franchise clients, reviewing and negotiating franchise agreements, commercial leases, and real estate asset transactions tied to business operations. Whether you are purchasing an existing practice, signing a long-term lease for a commercial space, or structuring a business sale, our firm brings careful, efficient attention to every document. Contract review in Florida requires an understanding of both state-specific legal requirements and the practical realities of closing a transaction on time, and that is precisely what we provide.
Why Schultz Law Group

A 27-Year Legacy of Transactional Excellence on the Emerald Coast

Kerry Anne Schultz built this firm on a philosophy of service above self, and that foundation shapes every client relationship we have. As a valedictorian and Juris Doctorate honors graduate, a former law clerk, and an attorney appointed by Governor DeSantis to the Judicial Nominating Commission for the First District, she brings a level of professional credibility that is rare in a boutique setting. Clients who need business legal services on the Emerald Coast are not looking for a high-volume firm that treats their transaction like a number in a queue. They want a responsive attorney who knows the local market, respects their time, and delivers clear, accurate work without unnecessary friction. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.

Our Approach

Responsive, Efficient, and Focused on Your Transaction

We operate as a true boutique practice, which means your matter receives direct, personal attention rather than being passed between associates. Our firm is available Monday through Friday during standard business hours, with after-hours appointments available by request for urgent matters. Because many of our clients prefer a more deliberate and private point of entry, we use email as our primary channel for initial inquiries rather than standard web forms. This approach reflects our respect for the privacy of sensitive business and financial information. From the first communication to the final closing, Schultz Law Group is structured to provide clear, calm guidance that complex commercial transactions require.

  • Does Schultz Law Group handle business litigation or courtroom disputes?

    No. Schultz Law Group maintains a strict focus on transactional business law and does not handle courtroom litigation. The firm's practice is built around contracts, acquisitions, leases, and closings rather than adversarial disputes. If a matter requires litigation, the firm refers clients to trusted specialists in that area, ensuring you always have the right legal resource for your specific situation without the firm stepping outside its area of focused expertise.

  • What types of business contracts does the firm review and draft?

    The firm works with a range of commercial agreements, including professional office acquisition contracts, restaurant franchise agreements, commercial leases, and real estate asset transactions connected to business operations. Kerry Anne Schultz brings nearly 27 years of transactional experience to each document, reviewing terms carefully to protect the client's interests before anything is signed. The firm's focus is on getting the contract right the first time rather than resolving problems after the fact.

  • Does the firm assist with dental or healthcare practice acquisitions?

    Yes. Dental and healthcare practice acquisitions are one of the firm's primary areas of focus, reflecting a five-year track record of handling professional office transactions in this sector. The healthcare industry has seen significant consolidation in recent years, and Schultz Law Group has developed specific experience navigating the legal and contractual complexities involved in these transitions.

  • Does the firm work with restaurant franchise clients?

    Yes. The firm assists restaurant franchise clients with the legal side of their business transactions, including franchise agreement review, commercial lease negotiation, and real estate asset matters tied to franchise operations. These engagements require careful attention to the specific terms that franchise agreements impose alongside standard commercial contract requirements, and the firm brings that level of detail to every transaction it handles in the Gulf Breeze and Emerald Coast area.

  • Why does the firm use email instead of a web contact form for initial inquiries?

    Many of the firm's clients are business owners and professionals who are understandably cautious about entering sensitive financial or personal information into a standard online form. Using email as the primary point of contact gives prospective clients a more deliberate and secure-feeling way to reach out. This is a deliberate choice that reflects the firm's respect for client privacy and aligns with the high-touch, personalized service model that Schultz Law Group has built over nearly three decades.

  • Is the firm available outside of standard business hours for urgent matters?

    The firm's standard hours are Monday through Friday. After-hours appointments are available by request for clients dealing with urgent matters. This flexibility is part of the firm's commitment to being responsive, particularly for business owners and professionals who may face time-sensitive contract or acquisition situations that cannot wait for the next business day.

  • Does the firm handle landlord-tenant disputes for commercial properties?

    No. While Kerry Anne Schultz has extensive background in landlord-tenant law from her years as a faculty instructor on the subject, the firm does not take on landlord-tenant disputes as a current practice area. These matters are referred out to appropriate specialists. The firm's focus remains on transactional business law, including contracts, professional office acquisitions, franchise agreements, and commercial leases, rather than dispute resolution or litigation.

  • What geographic areas does Schultz Law Group serve for business law matters?

    The firm is based in Gulf Breeze, Florida, and serves clients throughout the Emerald Coast region, including the Escambia and Santa Rosa County areas of Northwest Florida. Kerry Anne Schultz's 27-year presence in this market gives the firm strong familiarity with the regional business environment, making it well positioned to assist local professionals, business owners, and healthcare practitioners with their transactional legal needs.
