Business, Corporate, and Tax Planning
Privately held companies have many of the same business law complexities as publicly traded companies but may not have access to the same resources.
On a daily basis, your team may need Distribution Agreements, Independent Contractor Agreements, policies for the HR department, advice about investors, or tax planning around a new project. Having your go-to trusted advisor for these questions is key. You want experience in both law and business. Our lawyers have been in-house counsel facing the front lines of business transaction law. And our lawyers have closed some of the most complex transactions globally as counsel to Fortune 5 companies.
We have navigated clients through the excitement of capital raises, acquisitions, and exits…and through the chaos of bankruptcy. We have a deep bank of specialized attorneys on speed dial through our deep, high-quality network of Houston professionals to supplement our expertise. You won’t be explaining your problems to an attorney who graduated from last school last year or risk being misunderstood by AI. We listen. We have context. And we care.
For our early-stage clients, we have a special services program tied to Back of the Napkin: A Start-Up’s Legal Path From Idea To Enterprise. For novice business owners, we coach using the book’s practical homework and examples and have fixed fee packages to fit the budgets of entrepreneurs.
