Our Business Law Practice Areas
Starting your business requires more than just filing paperwork. You need a legal structure that protects your assets and minimizes your tax liability. We assist business owners with entity selection (LLC, corporation, partnership), prepare operating agreements that clarify ownership and management, draft employment agreements to protect your company culture, and structure leases and vendor contracts to support growth. When the time comes to wind down your business or end a partnership, we handle dissolution properly, ensuring compliance with Texas law and protecting you from lingering financial obligations.
Contracts form the foundation of every business relationship. Whether you’re signing a lease for your office space, establishing a partnership agreement, creating employment agreements, or negotiating vendor contracts, the language matters enormously. We review contracts before you sign, identifying risks and negotiating favorable terms. We draft contracts that protect your interests, clearly define obligations, and provide dispute resolution mechanisms in the event of problems arising. Proactive contract work prevents costly litigation down the road.
When disputes arise between companies over breach of contract, payment issues, partnership disagreements, or customer disputes, they threaten your operations and profitability. We combine skilled negotiation with litigation experience to resolve these matters efficiently. We discuss mediation early, often finding solutions that preserve business relationships while protecting your interests. When litigation becomes necessary, our experienced litigators advocate aggressively for you in court.
Your employees are your company’s greatest asset and biggest liability if not properly managed. We assist business owners with hiring practices to ensure compliance with employment law. We draft employment agreements that protect your company’s assets and intellectual property, establish non-compete and non-disclosure provisions to safeguard your competitive advantages, and help manage employment disputes when they arise. We ensure that your hiring and employment practices protect your business while treating employees fairly and in accordance with the law.
Construction projects operate with tight margins where payment delays destroy profitability. Whether you’re a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or project owner, we protect your interests throughout every stage of the project. We review contracts before you commit, handle disputes over change orders and payments, enforce mechanics’ liens when payment disputes arise, and represent you in litigation if necessary. We understand construction timelines demand quick action, so we move fast to protect your assets and ensure payment.
Your company’s success depends on protecting what makes you unique: your customer lists, proprietary processes, trade secrets, and competitive advantages. We draft non-compete agreements and confidentiality provisions that protect these assets. If disputes arise with former employees or business partners violating their obligations, we take legal action to protect your business. We understand Texas law on restrictive covenants and enforce them aggressively when necessary.
Patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets represent valuable company assets. We assist with copyright and trademark registration, help protect your proprietary methods and formulas, and take legal action against those infringing your intellectual property rights. Whether you’re a technology company protecting software, a creative firm protecting designs, or any business protecting your innovations, we ensure your intellectual property receives proper protection.
Business partnerships often start strong but deteriorate due to issues such as profit distribution, management control, or strategic disagreements. We represent business owners in partnership disputes, handle shareholder conflicts, pursue breach of fiduciary duty claims when appropriate, and manage partnership dissolution when necessary. We discuss mediation early, seeking resolutions that preserve value while protecting your interests.
Buying or selling a business involves complex legal, financial, and emotional considerations. We assist business owners with due diligence, contract negotiation, deal structuring (including asset purchases, equity transactions, or hybrid arrangements), and post-closing matters, ensuring seamless transitions. With over 20 years of experience handling business sales and acquisitions, we understand what matters and protect your interests at every stage.
Many businesses benefit from having a general counsel available for ongoing legal needs without maintaining a full-time attorney. We serve as outside counsel for companies, reviewing contracts, advising on employment matters, handling routine legal issues, and escalating complex matters as needed. This arrangement provides access to experienced legal counsel while keeping costs under control. You pay for assistance when you need it.
Different industries face different regulatory requirements. Healthcare practices must ensure HIPAA compliance. Businesses handling customer information must protect data. Construction companies must follow building codes and contract requirements. We assist clients in ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, reducing legal risk, and protecting their businesses from penalties.
Energy companies operate in a complex, high-stakes environment. We bring nearly 25 years of experience representing energy and petrochemical firms, with expertise in E&P operations, deepwater facilities, joint ventures, and related disputes. We handle trade secret protection, non-compete enforcement, partnership disputes, and business litigation in the energy sector. When energy deals deteriorate or competitors threaten your position, our experienced litigation team provides the aggressive representation you need.
When your business faces serious legal action threatening operations or profitability, you need litigation counsel prepared for trial. Our team has presented over 90 complex business cases before judges, juries, and arbitration panels. We handle breach of contract, trade secret theft, partnership disputes, customer disputes, and more. We deliver aggressive representation protecting your business and achieving results in your favor.
