BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS

Business and Corporate laws have significantly changed in Texas with the implementation of the new Business Organizations Code that now affects all business entities in Texas. The attorneys at Murray | Lobb represent businesses by assisting in selecting the type of organization to form the selected business entity (Limited Liability Companies, Corporations, and Partnerships), preparation of operational agreements, re-organization, dissolution, merger and acquisitions, labor issues and restructuring pursuant to the Code.

The firm recognizes that competent legal representation in the modern business economy requires the ability to strongly defend businesses from lawsuits and to pursue claims, but also to assist clients in recognizing potential pitfalls at the earliest stages of negotiations. Based on this belief, the attorneys of Murray | Lobb are skilled and prepared to represent our business client’s, if necessary, in Federal and State court litigation.

Our business lawyers assist with the legal issues encountered by all businesses, large and small. They are experienced in the structure and negotiation of a number of business transactions including the sale and purchase of businesses, financing, real estate and municipal law. Expertise is also offered in the areas of bankruptcy; employment and labor law plans; franchising; creditor's rights; and intellectual property rights.

Murray | Lobb know that their clients are not in the business of litigation and strive to provide prompt, professional and experienced opinions and representation.

The form of business chosen for a business entity potentially affects every aspect of its operations.   At Murray | Lobb we assist our clients in formation and business planning in the greater Houston area and throughout Texas.
