Business Attorney
Business law covers an expansive list of legal matters that businesses encounter. There is business formation, breach of contracts, shareholder disputes, employee agreements, and many other things. The most common service that we provide is business formation. There are several different business structures to choose from. Sole proprietorships, partnerships, and limited liability companies (LLC) are the most common.
Sole proprietorships are businesses in which one person is solely responsible for the business and is personally liable for everything. A partnership is just like a sole proprietorship except there are multiple partners that are responsible for anything involving the business. Each partner is held responsible for any decision or action of each partner. Limited liability corporations offer some legal protections against personal liability. They essentially create the business as a separate person in the eyes of the law. Any liability from lawsuits and debts is assumed by the LLC and you won’t be held personally liable. There are ways you can still be held liable for lawsuits and debts even if you have formed an LLC but we would be happy to discuss those situations with you. Our business attorneys are proud to serve residents from Brenham, Houston, Austin, Bryan, and College Station, TX.
