Vanguard Legal provides comprehensive legal services to technology-driven businesses throughout Houston and Dallas. Acting as outside general counsel, we support startups, emerging ventures, and established corporations with legal matters ranging from entity formation and capital structuring to technology transactions and intellectual property protection.

Our attorneys have extensive experience negotiating complex strategic acquisitions, joint ventures, and development agreements for middle-market and publicly traded companies. We also assist with exit strategies, including mergers, acquisitions, and public offerings, helping clients navigate the legal complexities of growth and transition.

Business Formation, Governance, and Capital Strategy

We advise clients on selecting the appropriate legal structure, issuing equity, and designing compensation plans for founders and key personnel. Our team prepares partnership and buy-sell agreements that provide clear mechanisms for resolving management disputes and facilitating orderly transitions.

For emerging companies, we offer legal support for private securities offerings and capital raises. As businesses scale, we continue to serve as corporate counsel, guiding leadership through acquisitions and long-term exit planning.

Vanguard Legal helps technology companies protect and commercialize their innovations. We draft and negotiate licensing agreements, safeguard trade secrets, and manage intellectual property portfolios.
