Business Set-Up & Structuring

The team has extensive experience with business set up and entity structuring across a wide range of industries and for businesses of all sizes. While Texas LLCs are the most common business structure, the firm also supports clients with Corporations, Limited Partnerships and other entity types. Many of our clients are setting up multi-entity corporate structures, and we work with those clients to build a wholistic plan that incorporates expected growth without overcomplicating day-to-day operations for those businesses. 

We also support clients with business transitions including business acquisitions and sales, entity restructuring and growth, employee equity and phantom equity plans and entity dissolution and conversion.
