Employment and business counsel for ambitious companies — practical, defensible solutions that scale with you.
Texas-based. Multi-state savvy. Operator-first legal counsel.

We partner with leaders who are building fast and can’t afford legal bottlenecks. Our clients are ambitious, growth-focused businesses that need counsel who moves at their pace — commercially savvy, operator-minded, and embedded in the day-to-day realities of running a company.

Client Profiles:
Private Equity Portfolios
Private equity deals live and die on diligence. We support portfolio companies with legal due diligence pre-acquisition — surfacing risks in contracts, compliance, and employment practices so buyers walk in with eyes wide open. Post-acquisition, we embed as fractional general counsel to build scalable legal infrastructure: contracts, policies, and compliance systems that protect enterprise value and position companies for exit.
Founder-Led & Growth-Stage Buinesses
Owners and executives who want the legal firepower of a general counsel without the full-time headcount. We professionalize contracts, policies, and compliance so leaders can focus on scaling.
Industrial & Field-Based Companies
Multi-state, hourly-heavy workforces where wage/hour, safety, and employee relations issues are daily realities. We embed legal support so operators can stay focused on productivity and growth.
Small & Mid-Sized Enterprises
Companies who don’t yet have in-house legal teams but face big-company legal challenges. We provide practical, responsive counsel that matches their size, speed, and budget.
Whether you’re backed by private equity, scaling founder-led, or managing complex field operations, we’re built for businesses that move fast and expect counsel who can keep up.
