Focused where business risk lives.

When a dispute threatens your company's revenue, reputation, or relationships, the quality of your counsel is not a line item. It is the outcome.

We represent businesses across Dallas and throughout Texas in complex commercial litigation, and we build every case from day one as though it will be decided by a judge or jury. That discipline is not theater. It is leverage. Opposing parties and their insurers evaluate a matter very differently when they understand that the lawyers across the table have prepared the evidence, framed the legal theories, and are genuinely willing to try the case.

Most disputes never reach a verdict, and that is by design. Thorough preparation is what creates the settlement posture our clients want, often resolving matters faster and on better terms than a rushed compromise ever could. We pursue early resolution aggressively through demand, negotiation, mediation, and arbitration whenever it serves the client's interests, and we are candid about cost, risk, and likely outcome at every stage so you are never making decisions on optimistic assumptions.

When resolution is not available on acceptable terms, we try the case. Our courtroom experience spans contract and partnership disputes, business torts, and high-stakes claims against far larger and better-funded opponents.

Every business dispute we have ever litigated began with words on a page. We write better pages.

The agreements your company runs on are only as strong as the language that holds them together. We draft, negotiate, and review the full range of commercial instruments a Texas business relies on, from foundational operating and partnership agreements to vendor, supply, service, employment, and licensing contracts. Because we also litigate these documents, we know firsthand which provisions hold up under pressure and which ones quietly invite the disputes we are later hired to resolve.

That dual perspective shapes everything we put on paper. We negotiate for terms that protect your interests in the deal in front of you and anticipate the conflicts that tend to surface years later, so indemnity, default, termination, dispute resolution, and remedy provisions actually do their job when it matters.

When questions arise on existing agreements, we provide clear, businesslike analysis of your rights, obligations, and exposure, along with a practical strategy for asserting your position or heading off a fight before it starts.

The structure you choose at formation determines what you can protect later. Get it right the first time.

We guide entrepreneurs, founders, and established owners through every step of forming a Texas business, from entity selection and governing documents to ownership structure and regulatory compliance. The right foundation does more than satisfy the Secretary of State. It allocates control, limits liability, plans for taxes, and sets the rules that govern what happens when owners disagree or decide to part ways.

Our formation counsel is shaped by what we see on the litigation side of the practice. Many of the partnership breakups, liability surprises, and tax inefficiencies we are later asked to untangle trace directly back to shortcuts taken at formation, often from a fill-in-the-blank template that was never built for the business it ended up governing. We structure entities to prevent those outcomes, not to paper over them.

Whether you are launching a first venture or adding an entity to an existing enterprise, we help you build something durable from the start.

Texas construction lien law is unforgiving of missed deadlines and defective notices. We make sure yours hold.

The Texas mechanic's and materialman's lien statutes are among the most technical and deadline-driven in the country, and a single missed notice or defective filing can extinguish an otherwise valid claim worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. We represent contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and design professionals in perfecting and enforcing the lien rights that secure the compensation they have earned.

We also stand on the other side of these disputes, representing owners, lenders, and general contractors in evaluating, contesting, removing, and resolving lien claims, including fraudulent or overstated filings. Either way, our command of the statutory framework means deadlines are met, notices are correct, and the leverage the law is meant to provide actually materializes.

Construction payment disputes rarely stay simple. We handle the related contract, bond, and prompt-payment issues that accompany them, on both private and public projects.

Aircraft liens sit at the intersection of Texas statute and federal registration law. Few firms practice there. We do.

Securing payment for work performed on an aircraft is not like any other lien. Claims can rise or fall on the interaction between Texas lien statutes, the FAA aircraft registry, and federal recording requirements, an area where procedural missteps are both easy to make and costly to fix. We provide focused counsel to maintenance and repair providers, FBOs, avionics shops, and storage facilities seeking to secure compensation for services rendered.

We also represent aircraft owners, operators, and lenders navigating competing claims, priority disputes, and the practical realities of an asset that can be flown across jurisdictions overnight. Our familiarity with both the state-law and federal-registration dimensions of these matters lets us protect our clients' positions where generalist firms can lose their footing.

From perfecting a claim to enforcing it or resolving a priority fight, we bring order to a niche that rewards precision.

In the Texas energy sector, legal counsel without industry fluency is a liability. Ours runs deep.

We serve upstream and midstream oil and gas companies in both disputes and transactional matters, drawing on a working understanding of how the industry actually operates. Lease and royalty controversies, production and accounting disputes, title questions, and regulatory challenges all turn on facts and customs that generalist litigators often miss, and we do not.

On the transactional side, we provide strategic counsel on contract drafting and interpretation, title examination and curative work, and risk assessment, helping clients structure deals and evaluate exposure before positions harden into litigation. When disputes do arise, that same fluency lets us move quickly and credibly.

Whether the question is a contested royalty calculation, a clouded title, or a midstream agreement that no longer reflects reality on the ground, we help energy clients protect their interests.
