For Business Owners

Strategic counsel for growth.

M&A, tax, and outside general counsel for owner-operated Texas companies — from first acquisition to exit, whether your business does $2 million or $200 million in revenue.

Often a strong fit for owner-led companies that have outgrown a generalist lawyer but don't need a large corporate firm or a full-time general counsel.

Transactions close. Tax positions hold.

Two partners hold LL.M. degrees in Taxation — from Northwestern Pritzker and SMU Dedman.

Planning for your family too?

The deal and the estate plan should be designed together.

A sale or succession changes your personal estate plan — and the estate plan can change how the deal should be structured. We handle both sides in one engagement.
