Our Dallas General Counsel Lawyers represent businesses in all types of common matters, including:

Arbitration offers a private, cost-effective alternative to courtroom litigation for resolving business disputes. It’s often faster and more flexible, but still requires careful legal strategy and contract enforcement. Our Dallas general counsel lawyers advise clients on arbitration clauses, represent them in proceedings, and ensure their rights are protected throughout the process.

Business contracts form the foundation of every commercial relationship, from vendor agreements to client services and manufacturing agreements. Poorly drafted or unclear contracts can expose your business to unnecessary risk. Our Dallas general counsel lawyers review, draft, and negotiate business contracts to ensure your agreements are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your goals.

Business litigation can stem from contract breaches, partner disputes, or other internal and external conflicts that threaten a company’s operations and reputation. Addressing issues early can help avoid costly outcomes. Our Dallas general counsel lawyers provide strategic guidance to help businesses navigate litigation risks and respond effectively when disputes arise.

Business transactions—such as acquisitions, asset sales, or restructurings—require careful legal oversight to manage risk and ensure smooth execution. Each deal carries financial and operational implications that must be addressed up front. Our Dallas general counsel lawyers support clients through every stage of a transaction, from initial structuring to final closing.

Corporate governance involves the policies, practices, and structures that guide how a business is managed and controlled. Clear governance helps prevent disputes, ensure compliance, and support long-term growth. Our Dallas general counsel lawyers advise business owners and boards on governance matters, including bylaws, resolutions, and fiduciary duties.

Corporate finance decisions—like securing capital, structuring debt, or managing investor relationships—carry significant legal and financial implications. It’s essential to ensure these transactions are compliant and aligned with your business objectives. Our Dallas general counsel lawyers advise clients on financing strategy, regulatory requirements, and risk mitigation.

Partnership disputes can arise over profit sharing, decision-making, or breaches of the partnership agreement—often putting the entire business at risk. Addressing these issues early can help preserve relationships and avoid litigation. Our Dallas general counsel lawyers help clients resolve partner conflicts through negotiation, mediation, or formal dispute resolution when needed. 

Fraud litigation involves serious allegations such as misrepresentation, embezzlement, or deceptive business practices that can harm a company’s reputation and bottom line. These cases require swift action and a clear legal strategy. Our Dallas general counsel lawyers help businesses investigate potential fraud, respond to claims, and pursue legal remedies when misconduct occurs.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

An outsourced general counsel (GC) provides on-call legal advice like drafting and negotiating contracts, managing HR issues, overseeing compliance, and coordinating litigation or M&A without the overhead of a full-time employee.

Outsourced GC service delivers proactive, day-to-day guidance under a monthly retainer, while project-based outside counsel reacts to single matters and bills hourly; the GC model builds institutional knowledge and predictable cost.

Texas businesses with $5–50 million in annual revenue, large enough for frequent legal needs but not ready for a salaried in-house lawyer, see the greatest ROI.

Typical GC scope includes contract review, employment policies, corporate governance, risk assessments, compliance training, debt or equity deal support, and oversight of specialty counsel (IP, tax, litigation).

A General Counsel retainer is a fixed monthly or quarterly amount tied to estimated service hours. Special projects (e.g., a major acquisition) are scoped separately at discounted hourly or flat rates.

Yes. Communications with an outsourced GC are privileged under Texas Rule of Evidence 503 as long as the GC is engaged to provide legal advice and the client keeps the discussions confidential.

Outsourced GC counsel frequently attends board or manager meetings, drafts minutes, and may sign certificates or closing sets when authorized by company resolution.

Our firm can onboard in 3–5 business days: execute an engagement letter, review key policies and contracts, and set meeting cadences with leadership.

A company should consider hiring in-house when annual legal spend consistently exceeds $250,000 to $350,000, or when daily legal issues demand immediate on-site attention.
