Areas Our Houston Business Law Attorneys Can Assist With

There is a nuts and bolts side to running a business that requires attention to detail in a large scope of best practices such as contract negotiation and enforcement, harassment suits, overtime disputes, purchase agreements, and more.

Some of the aspects of business law we handle for our clients includes:

Business Contracts

For most businesses, contracts are the building blocks of success. These documents are generally designed to provide information about and define party roles, rights, and obligations. Whether a business needs assistance with drafting a contract and agreement or is dealing with a contract dispute, we can help. Some of the more common types of contracts we assist with are loan packages, 1-to-4 real estate contracts, asset purchase agreements, and assignments, to name just a few.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Whether you are a business acquiring another in an effort to grow your market, or you are a business that is being merged with another, it can be a delicate situation for all parties involved. Let our knowledgeable staff assist you with common merger and acquisition issues such as due diligence, purchase agreements, and escrow agreements. Having an attorney on deck may be able help smooth over some of the bumps and bruises that can come with mergers and acquisitions.

Service Industries

The oil and gas industry is a large part of the Houston economy with dozens of energy giants calling the city home. For this reason, it is not uncommon for oil and gas businesses and professional services such as supply and welding companies to require assistance with oil field service agreements, manufacturing and equipment contracts, exploration agreements and production agreements.

Commercial Litigation

Particularly in a highly competitive market, litigation can make the difference when it comes to a company being able to protect themselves. The term commercial litigation is fairly broad and covers a wide variety of topics. Because of its complicated nature and high stakes, it is not uncommon for commercial litigation to make its way to a federal court. For court cases, it is critical to have the proper representation to assist with research, an investigation, discovery, and trying the case should it come to that.
