Why Choose the Transactional Law Attorneys at Hendershot Cowart P.C.?

Proven Business Transaction Experience

Our corporate transactional law firm has guided businesses of all sizes through complex transactions since 1987, providing the legal judgment you need to protect your interests and facilitate smooth business deals.

Intellectual Property Protection in Business Transactions

Texas has business-friendly intellectual property and trade secret laws, but these protections aren’t automatic. Business owners and their attorneys must take steps to ensure the protection of the law. Our business transaction attorneys implement safeguards to protect your intellectual assets before, during, and after the transaction.

Meticulous Due Diligence

We employ a comprehensive 100+ point due diligence checklist customized for your specific transaction, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

Regulatory Compliance 

Our transactional lawyers ensure your business transactions comply with all applicable laws and regulations, especially for transactions within the healthcare industry. As a business transactions law firm with a thriving health law practice, we routinely counsel medical practices on compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations, including HIPAA, Texas’s corporate practice of medicine doctrine, and the Anti-Kickback Statute. 

We Focus on Preventing Litigation

Our law firm handles both business transactions and business litigation. As a result, we know which missteps in the transactional process can lead to disputes both before and after closing. We structure transactions with these potential disputes in mind, closing loopholes and minimizing future legal risks.
