Business Attorneys
YOUR SMALL BUSINESS LAW FIRM
Business Formation
Ready to start a business? We can streamline the process by drafting a complete suite of corporate formation documents, including certificates of formation, operating agreements, buy-sell agreements and more. We can even help clients apply for Employer Identification Numbers (EIN’s) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Business Transactions
Is your small business preparing for a corporate merger or acquisition? We can negotiate, draft, and close complex business transactions. Working in consultation with your CPA, we can help you determine whether a share purchase or asset purchase is best for your business.
Business Disputes
Stuck in a contract dispute with a business or individual? We may be able to save you valuable time and money by quickly resolving your dispute without litigation. We are trained negotiators ready to fight for your fair treatment.
Contracts
Simple contract mistakes can cause major headaches and cost you thousands of dollars. We can help you avoid these pitfalls by drafting rock-solid contracts, revising existing contracts, and reviewing potential contracts quickly and for a reasonable fee. We also perform contract negotiations and help clients resolve contractual disputes.
Legal Research and Opinions
Have a burning legal question? We may not have the answer, but we can perform legal research and offer advisory opinions to your small business. If we can’t help, we’ll find an attorney who can.
Human Resources
We help businesses thrive and grow by drafting employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements to suit each client’s unique needs. Strategic planning enables our clients to focus on seizing opportunity, not just limiting legal liability.
Business Filings with Secretary Of State
We can assist clients with the full range of business filings with the Secretary of State, including: registration of a foreign entity in Texas, registration of an assumed name (commonly known as a “DBA”), amendments to business entities, and terminations and reinstatements of business entities. In certain instances, time-sensitive filings are eligible for expedited handling with the Secretary of State.
Licensing and Permit Issues
We have years of experience navigating state and federal regulations and liaising with government agencies. Let us walk you through the tangled web of bureaucracy by ensuring regulatory compliance for your small business. We also assist clients with applications for industry-specific government permits.
Trademarks and Copyrights
We help clients safeguard their valuable intellectual property by registering trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and enforcing existing trade and service marks against infringers. We also register copyrights, which put the public on notice of your claim and allow you to take legal action against infringers and receive statutory damages in the event of proven infringement.
Concierge General Counsel
Consistent access to legal counsel enables our clients to grow their businesses and focus on seizing opportunity, not just limiting legal liability. For a discounted monthly fee, concierge general counsel clients receive quick (often instant) access to competent legal counsel, and rest easy knowing that valuable legal expertise is always close at hand. We tailor this service to the unique legal needs of each business. Ready to learn more? Contact us today for a free consultation.

Joshua Massingill recently spoke to CBS Austin to explain Texas’s new Senate bill prohibiting businesses from requiring customers to show proof of vaccination.
Amidst the continuing pandemic, some Texas businesses are asking patrons to prove they are vaccinated before entering the place of business.
However, Joshua laid out why businesses cannot, under the new legislation, require proof of vaccination.
Under Senate Bill 968, Texas local governments are not allowed to issue vaccine passports, Joshua explained in the interview.
He also covered that local businesses are prohibited from requiring vaccine passports under the bill.
He said that businesses cannot use the lack of vaccine proof to deny people access to their business or to receive service from the business.
Joshua also detailed possible consequences of requiring proof of vaccination and not following the law. One of these repercussions is potentially losing one’s business license.
Some businesses have revoked their vaccination proof requirements after learning of the law. However, others have said they will continue to enforce their guidelines for now.
The interview aired on August 12, 2021. See Joshua’s full interview here.
