Build the legal structure before problems appear

Starting and running a business involves legal decisions about structure, contracts, ownership, compliance, and risk. Texas offers several formation options, including LLCs, corporations, and partnerships, each with different benefits and responsibilities.

Clear documents help protect personal assets, define management roles, prevent disputes, and make expectations easier to manage.

  • LLC, corporation, professional entity, partnership, and nonprofit formation
  • Operating agreements, bylaws, shareholder agreements, founder agreements, and buy-sell agreements
  • Contract drafting, review, negotiation, NDAs, service agreements, and technology agreements
  • Startup counsel, outside general counsel, business succession, and asset purchases
