Entity Formation & Startups

We help you choose the right structure-LLC, corporation, or partnership-then handle the filings, EIN, operating agreement or bylaws, and initial ownership records. You'll understand liability, taxes, and governance before you sign. If you're converting or adding members, we'll update documents cleanly.

What We Handle for Business Clients

Business Formation & Startup Law

Guidance for entrepreneurs launching a new venture in Allen or Collin County. We help you choose the right entity, file with the state, draft operating agreements, and set up the legal foundation for long-term success.

Business Contracts & Agreements

Drafting and reviewing contracts that keep your business running smoothly. From client service agreements and vendor deals to partnership agreements and NDAs, we ensure your documents are enforceable and protect your interests.

Business Transactions & Disputes

Support for major business events, from buying or selling a company to resolving disputes with partners, clients, or vendors. We negotiate deals, pursue resolution when conflicts arise, and represent your interests in and out of court.

Contracts & Daily Operations

Clear contracts prevent disputes and set expectations. We draft and review sales agreements, NDAs, vendor and services contracts, terms of sale, and employment policies that fit a growing business. Need a practical redline on a short deadline? We'll prioritize and explain the tradeoffs.

Transactions, Leases & Disputes

Buying or selling a business, negotiating a commercial lease along Stacy Road, or settling a vendor dispute-we prepare LOIs, purchase agreements, diligence checklists, and settlement terms you can live with. If negotiation fails, we pursue demand, mediation, or litigation referrals as appropriate while protecting your business goals.

FAQs:

Answers For Business Owners

  • Do I need an LLC or a corporation?

    It depends on your goals, tax plan, and investor expectations. Many small teams start with an LLC for flexibility and convert later if needed. We'll walk through liability and governance tradeoffs before you choose.

  • What should a partnership or operating agreement include?

    Key items are capital contributions, ownership percentages, voting, management, profit distributions, buy-sell triggers, and dispute resolution. Clear language now prevents costly fights later. We'll tailor terms to your specific working relationship.

  • When should I have a lawyer review a contract?

    Any time the dollar amount, risk, or long-term commitment is meaningful-leases, master services agreements, and vendor terms especially. A quick review can reveal hidden auto-renewals, indemnities, or personal guarantees. We'll flag risk and propose edits that fit your leverage.

  • How much does it cost to form an LLC in Texas?

    Expect a state filing fee plus drafting costs for an operating agreement and initial records. We quote flat fees for standard formations so you know the budget upfront. If you're moving fast, we can file on an expedited basis.
