Pearland

Our Business Law Practice Areas
Launching your company demands more than filling out government forms. You need a legal structure that shields your personal assets, optimizes tax efficiency, and positions you for sustainable growth. We guide business owners through entity selection (LLC, corporation, partnership), craft operating agreements that eliminate ambiguity around ownership and control, prepare employment agreements that protect your company culture, and structure leases and vendor contracts that support expansion. When circumstances require winding down operations or severing a partnership, we handle dissolution with precision, ensuring compliance with Texas law while protecting you from residual financial exposure.
Every business relationship stands on a contractual foundation. The office lease you sign, the partnership agreement you negotiate, the employment contracts you execute, the vendor agreements you approve, the specific language determines whether those relationships protect or expose you. We review contracts before signatures, identifying hidden risks and negotiating terms that favor your position. We draft contracts that clearly define obligations, protect your interests, and establish dispute resolution procedures in the event of conflicts. Proactive contract work eliminates costly litigation later.
Disputes between companies, whether over breached contracts, unpaid invoices, partnership breakdowns, or customer conflicts, threaten both operations and profitability. We combine skilled negotiation with courtroom experience to resolve these matters efficiently and effectively. We explore mediation early, often discovering solutions that preserve business relationships while safeguarding your interests. When litigation becomes unavoidable, our experienced litigators advocate aggressively on your behalf in court.
Your employees represent both your greatest asset and your largest liability if managed poorly. We assist business owners with compliant hiring practices, draft employment agreements that protect company assets and intellectual property (IP), establish non-compete and non-disclosure provisions to defend competitive advantages, and manage employment disputes when they surface. We ensure that your hiring and employment practices protect your business while treating employees fairly and in accordance with the law.
Construction projects operate on razor-thin margins where payment delays destroy profitability overnight. Whether you’re a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or project owner, we protect your interests throughout every phase of the project. We review contracts before commitment, handle disputes over change orders and payments, enforce mechanics’ liens when payment disputes emerge, and represent you in litigation when necessary. We understand construction timelines demand immediate action, so we move quickly to protect your assets and secure payment.
Your company’s competitive edge depends on protecting what makes you unique: customer lists, proprietary processes, trade secrets, and specialized knowledge. We draft non-compete agreements and confidentiality provisions that safeguard these assets. When disputes arise with former employees or business partners violating their obligations, we take swift legal action to protect your business. We understand Texas law regarding restrictive covenants and enforce them aggressively when necessary.
Patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets represent valuable company assets that require protection and safeguarding. We assist with copyright and trademark registration, help protect 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 innovations, we ensure your intellectual property receives robust protection.
Business partnerships often begin strongly but deteriorate due to issues such as profit distribution, management control, or strategic direction. Our law firm near Pearland represents business owners in partnership disputes, handles shareholder conflicts, pursues breach of fiduciary duty claims when appropriate, and manages partnership dissolution when necessary. We explore mediation early, seeking resolutions that preserve value while protecting your interests.
Buying or selling a business involves intricate 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 smooth transitions. With over 20 years of experience handling business sales and acquisitions, we understand what matters and protect your interests throughout 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 to protect your business and achieve favorable results.
