Lawyers Financial Tools in Florida — FAQ
Do law firms in Florida need a separate business bank account?
Yes — Florida attorneys are required to maintain an IOLTA (Interest on Lawyers' Trust Account) for client funds, separate from their operating account. This is a core ethical requirement enforced by the The Florida Bar.
What type of business entity should a law firm use in Florida?
Most Florida law firms operate as a PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company), PC (Professional Corporation), or LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). Filing fee is $125 for an LLC/PLLC. Check with the The Florida Bar for entity restrictions.
What banking features matter most for Florida law firms?
Law firms in Florida need IOLTA-compliant trust accounting, easy separation of client and operating funds, robust transaction tracking for billing, and ideally integration with practice management software. AI bookkeeping can automate trust reconciliation.
Can Florida lawyers use online-only banks?
Yes, but your IOLTA account must be held at an institution approved by the The Florida Bar. Many online banks qualify, but verify IOLTA eligibility before opening. Your operating account can be at any bank.
