San Antonio Business Attorney

Business Lawyer

So you are the founder of a startup. Your singular, intense (some would say mad scientist-esque), all-consuming, and utterly committed focus is on getting The Idea from your brain to the real world.

You are the CEO, and also possibly the CFO, the COO, the billing department, the marketing department, HR, and/or any and every other department.

You’re thinking about a million other things – you may not be thinking about entity structures, contract risk, securities laws, regulatory compliance, what IP you need to protect,  employees, exit options , and many other issues. That’s where a high-quality estate attorney comes into play.

Asset Protection

Any time you own substantial assets, a successful business enterprise, or work as a professional in a litigious environment, you can become a target for lawsuits or creditors. There are many asset protection strategies that we can offer, including LLC asset protection, Corporation asset protection, Limited Partnership asset protection, and more.

Whether you own assets personally or your business owns them, your hard-earned assets can be taken in a judgment if they aren’t adequately protected.

Estate Planning

While estate plans differ from person to person, fundamentally, it’s about one thing: your wishes should be respected. You spent your whole life working to care for your loved ones – why should your estate plan be given any less thought?

And you probably also want to minimize taxes. (fine! that’s two things).

There’s much more to consider: your own dignity and medical wishes at the end of life, preserving your legacy after death, furthering a treasured philanthropic or charitable cause, caring for your loved ones, ensuring the survival of the family business, and/or any other goal you would like to include in your plan. But regardless of what your goals are, a quality estate planning attorney can help you memorialize them correctly, in the proper documents.
