Business/Corporate

At Vanguard Legal, we provide practical, business-focused legal counsel to companies across Houston, Dallas, and throughout Texas. Our attorneys combine experience as both in-house counsel and outside general counsel, enabling us to understand business needs from the inside out.

We work closely with executives and management teams to deliver timely, strategic advice that supports growth, ensures compliance, and minimizes risk. By building long-term relationships and understanding each client’s operations and objectives, we help businesses execute bold strategies and prevent legal issues before they arise.

• Our corporate counsel services cover a wide range of day-to-day business needs, including:

  • Contracts and Commercial Agreements – Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating supplier, customer, and vendor agreements.

  • Employment and Compensation – Advising on employment contracts, policies, and executive compensation matters.

  • Dispute Resolution – Managing negotiations and  mediation to resolve business disputes efficiently.

  • Technology Transactions and Intellectual Property – Protecting IP assets and managing software, licensing, and technology agreements.

  • Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Compliance – Ensuring your company meets privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity obligations.

For many growing Texas businesses, hiring a full-time in-house attorney may not be practical or cost-effective. Vanguard Legal offers an alternative: the Outside Legal Department.

Through this model, our attorneys act as your company’s outside general counsel—providing dedicated, ongoing legal support under a predictable monthly flat-fee arrangement. This structure allows clients to:

• Budget confidently for annual legal expenses

• Access experienced counsel without the cost of a full-time legal department

• Receive ongoing support for contracts, compliance, governance, and employment issues

• Benefit from responsive, business-minded advice tailored to your industry

This model can serve as either a temporary solution during periods of growth or transition, or as a permanent alternative to hiring in-house counsel.

Vanguard Legal proudly serves clients across Houston, Dallas, and throughout Texas, offering experienced corporate counsel and outside general counsel services to support every stage of your company’s growth.
