An experienced attorney can advise you on this decision based on the tax benefits, liability protection, and management options you’re interested in.

New business owners in Texas also have to create, negotiate, and sign numerous business agreements, including customer and client contracts, vendor agreements, purchase agreements, and more. A Texas business lawyer will let you know which contracts you need to file to get your business up and running, so schedule an initial consultation at our law office to get started on this critical step.

Frequently Asked Questions

What business entities can I choose from?

If you’re forming a new business in Texas, you’ll need to choose a business structure as one of the first steps. There are several to choose from, with each one offering different benefits regarding taxes, liability protection, and management options. The most common business entities include limited liability companies, sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations.

A skilled lawyer will review your options, help you choose the one that’s right for you, and assist with preparing the legal documents you’ll need to file with the state.

How can I protect my intellectual property?

When you’ve spent months or years making an original creation – whether it’s a brand or piece of art – you don’t want someone else to come along and profit from it. If you want to ensure only you or your business has the right to use and distribute your work, you should protect it with the legal options available to you. Some of the most popular intellectual property tools include trademarks and copyrights. The right attorney can register and enforce these for you to keep your work safe from competitors.

Is it possible to protect my Texas small business from lawsuits?

Owning a business always comes with some risk of legal liability. While there’s no guarantee against possible lawsuits, you can significantly reduce your risks by ensuring you have clear, valid contracts in place when you start your business. Hiring an attorney to draft and negotiate written agreements that comply with all regulations can decrease the chances you’ll need business litigation services due to disputes in the future.

What should I do if I’m involved in a business dispute?

Taking swift action when a business dispute arises can help you resolve the issue efficiently and prevent unnecessary disruptions. Early dispute resolution focuses on identifying the root cause of the conflict, assessing potential risks, and exploring solutions before the situation escalates. This may involve direct negotiations between the parties, facilitated discussions with legal guidance, or structured processes like mediation or arbitration. These approaches help businesses reach fair agreements while maintaining professional relationships and avoiding prolonged conflicts. A business attorney can assist in evaluating your options, drafting settlement terms, and ensuring your interests are protected throughout the resolution process.

How do I qualify as a nonprofit organization?

If you’re thinking of creating a nonprofit organization, it’s important to know that it must meet strict criteria in order to be tax-exempt. First, it must be established with the purpose of carrying out educational, religious, charitable, literary, or scientific purposes. This means the purpose of the organization is to improve the community in some way. You also must apply for tax-exempt status. This process can be complex, so it’s best to hire a lawyer to assist you.

Do I need to hire a business lawyer for a merger and acquisition in Texas?

If you’re buying, selling, or merging companies, you might start to feel overwhelmed by the legal details you’re expected to handle. Consider hiring a lawyer to take on these tasks. After all, it’s necessary to conduct due diligence to find any potential liabilities with the other company involved in the deal. It’s also important to adhere to regulations set forth by state and federal courts and negotiate before signing critical contracts. If you want the best possible outcome for a business transaction, hire our San Antonio law firm for quality legal services.

How can I protect trade secrets?

If you have a trade secret that makes your small business unique – such as a process, formula, or algorithm – it’s important to protect it from your competitors to ensure they can’t profit from it. While patents, trademarks, and copyrights involve a formal registration process, this isn’t the case with trade secrets. The only way you can protect them is by keeping them within your company, which means making sure employees don’t tell anyone about them and internet hackers don’t discover them on your company’s devices. Therefore, a lawyer can help protect your trade secrets by drafting non-disclosure agreements, assisting with employee training, and advising you on the recommended cybersecurity practices within your business.

Do I need corporate governance legal services?

If you’re operating a corporation or partnership, you’ll likely need assistance with corporate law right away. This means speaking with a corporate governance lawyer for help making corporate policies, drafting and negotiating bylaws, partnership or operating agreements, and ensuring your company complies with state and federal regulations. A business attorney can also offer help with choosing your business structure, handling significant transactions, and dealing with contract disputes. If you run a business that’s facing legal challenges of any kind, our San Antonio business law firm can advise you, so call us today for a consultation.
