Do you own a business, or are you thinking about acquiring one? Without a Houston business lawyer representing your interests in a critical business matter, all sorts of things can go wrong.
We don’t mean to scare you. We’ve just seen it all as a firm with extensive experience in offering business law services. Had some of our clients come to us for legal services earlier, they may have saved a world of confusion.
Common disputes and problems in business law include:
In the worst case, you can find yourself on the wrong end of a costly business lawsuit.
Fortunately, a skilled Houston business lawyer can advise against risks and exposures that may elude you. In addition, our attorneys can ensure that your business transaction goes smoothly. Whether you’re an individual, small company, or large business entity, our Houston business law firm can help. A free case evaluation is just a phone call away.
It’s always wise to have an experienced business attorney guiding you in legal business transactions. But what if you decide to go it alone without an attorney? Well, legal challenges are inevitable. What follows are a few areas where we’ve seen problems.
When a business is created, you may have co-owners or partners help with marketing, accounting, financial matters, and more. Therefore, the entity formation documents should fully explain each business partner’s duties. Establishing the business relationship between members going forward is often overlooked.
The operations agreement also should explain how to resolve conflicts with the partners or co-owners. It’s essential to have an attorney with legal knowledge review this agreement to ensure all bases are covered. Experienced Houston business attorneys can foresee potential internal disputes a mile away. Let legal counsel from The Titus Law Firm help you keep these at a minimum.
Health and safety conditions are sometimes not a priority in a new or growing company. Accidents may happen that risk the business. Was enough liability insurance purchased to protect the organization?
The entire operation can be at risk without a Houston business attorney overseeing these types of critical legal aspects. All it takes is one personal injury lawsuit, product liability, or premises liability claim to cripple a new business. Make sure you’re covered by speaking to us about your options.
You can rely on our Houston business lawyers for the following services (as well as others).
Are you ready to start a company? Excited to be a business owner but intimidated by all the red tape?
Let us help you start your Texas business. A Houston business lawyer can streamline the often complex process of entity formation. We can create certificates of formation, buy-sell agreements, operating agreements, and more.
Are you preparing for a business acquisition or merger? Our attorneys know how to negotiate, draft, and close all kinds of business transactions. If you try to do this on your own, you will quickly find that you are way in over your head.
A successful business is a compliant business. We have years of experience dealing with state and federal regulations and can ensure your business is in regulatory compliance.
Are you in a business dispute with another company or person? Settling the matter quickly and amicably is possible if you have a skilled attorney. Our business attorneys can save you time and money by settling the matter without a lawsuit.
We can file your business with the Texas Secretary of State, make amendments to business entities, and more. We are familiar with federal laws, so we know what is required of your business.
You can’t start or run a business in isolation from other areas of law. Fortunately, the Titus Law Firm has experience in related areas of law:
If you don’t see how they are related to business law, let’s schedule a consultation to talk about your business.
