Fort Worth Limited General Counsel Lawyer

Tarrant County Business General Counsel Attorney Assisting Companies With Their Legal Needs

There are a variety of legal concerns that will affect a business. In addition to taking the correct steps during the business formation process, business owners and partners will want to make sure they are following the correct procedures to limit their liability and protect against financial losses. However, understanding and preparing for the potential legal issues that may arise is not always easy, and many small or mid-size businesses do not have the resources to hire a full-time attorney. Fortunately, there is another solution: working with a lawyer who provides limited general counsel services.

A general counsel can provide legal support for a business when necessary while also making sure a company is prepared to address any concerns that may arise in the future. Gonzalez Law, PLLC believes in working closely with our clients to understand their legal needs, identify potential issues, and develop successful short-term and long-term business strategies. Whether you are looking to address a few outstanding issues or want to make sure you are prepared for any issues that may affect you, your employees, or your business as a whole, we can provide you with experienced legal guidance while ensuring that you have the ability to resolve disputes or address other legal concerns.

General Counsel Services

We can assist with multiple legal matters that affect businesses, including:

• Business structure - We can help owners and partners select the correct type of business entity when founding a company, or we can help determine whether a business may be restructured to meet its changing needs, bring on new partners or investors, or complete mergers or acquisitions.
• Contract review - We work with businesses to determine whether any of their existing contracts contain issues that need to be addressed, and we can help draft new contracts and negotiate favorable terms when entering into or updating contractual agreements.
• Employment matters - Employers will need to make sure they address issues related to their employees correctly, including putting the right policies in place, addressing claims of sexual harassment or discrimination, and resolving any disputes that may arise. We can provide legal help and guidance in these matters, and we can make sure employment contracts or severance agreements contain provisions that protect a business against unfair competition.
• Business succession plans - With our experience in matters related to estate planning, we can help business owners determine the best ways to put plans in place that will allow for the transfer of ownership of a company when they retire or after their death. This can ensure that the business a person has built will be able to continue operating successfully when they are no longer involved while also protecting their financial interests and ensuring that they receive the proper rewards for their efforts.
• Tax planning - As a certified public accountant, our founder, Joe Gonzalez, understands the tax-related issues that can affect businesses, and he can help them take the correct steps to report profits and losses, claim deductions for business expenses, and determine how to minimize their tax burden in future years.
