We represent doers, builders, and the investors that make new ventures possible, and the families and companies that have built Houston.

Our business attorneys regularly work with entrepreneurs who build new technologies and products and execute on innovative business concepts. We advise these clients on the tax, finance, and legal aspects of their business from formation, through their growth phase, all the way to successful exit through an eventual sale. We also advise clients on best practices to protect their intellectual property including confidential and proprietary information, know-how, and trade secrets.

Working with startups, we advise on the initial choice of entity, capital structure and finance options, prepare governance documents  and shareholder agreements, and advise on tax strategies. Working with our employment attorneys, we prepare employment contracts and policies.  We also prepare commercial contracts. As these companies grow into emerging companies, we assist with capital raises, and sometimes serve as outside general counsel.
