Common Questions About Business Planning

Thorough answers for Houston entrepreneurs and companies

  • Why is legal planning important when starting a business?

    Legal planning establishes the framework for your company’s operations and protects you from future liabilities. Choosing the right entity type, drafting proper agreements, and ensuring compliance with Texas law from the start can save time and money down the road. We help you create a strong foundation that supports growth and minimizes risk.

  • What type of business entity should I choose?

    The right entity—LLC, corporation, or partnership—depends on your goals, ownership structure, and tax considerations. Each offers different benefits and obligations. We evaluate your situation and recommend the best option to meet your needs while protecting your personal assets.

  • Can you help with ongoing legal needs after my business is formed?

    Yes, we provide general counsel services for businesses that need continuous legal support. From reviewing contracts to handling employment issues, we act as a trusted partner as your company grows. This ongoing relationship helps prevent legal problems and keeps your operations running smoothly.

  • Do I need an attorney for a business acquisition or sale?

    Absolutely. Buying or selling a business involves complex contracts, due diligence, and regulatory compliance. We guide you through every stage to protect your interests and ensure a successful transaction. Having experienced counsel reduces risks and creates a smoother process.

  • How can I protect my company’s intellectual property?

    Trademarks are essential for securing your brand identity and preventing misuse by others. We assist with trademark registration, monitoring, and enforcement to protect your business’s reputation. Integrating IP protection into your overall business plan safeguards long-term value.

  • What if my business faces a dispute?

    Disputes are inevitable in business, but proper planning and strong contracts can minimize their impact. We represent companies in negotiations and litigation to resolve issues efficiently. Our goal is to protect your business while finding solutions that allow you to move forward.
