Starting, growing, or protecting a business requires sound legal counsel at every stage. At Crenshaw, Dupree & Milam, our Lubbock law firm has extensive experience advising businesses of all sizes — from sole proprietors and startups to established corporations and major enterprises — across a wide range of business and corporate law matters. We take the time to understand your goals and help you build a legal strategy that supports the long-term success of your business.
Our business law attorneys bring practical knowledge and a broad perspective to every engagement. Having also handled commercial litigation matters extensively, we understand not just how to structure transactions and agreements, but also how disputes can arise — and how to help you avoid them from the outset.
We represent clients across all types of business law matters, including business formation (corporations, LLCs, partnerships, and other entities), business financing, real estate and other business transactions, lease agreements, buy/sell agreements, partnership agreements, employment agreements, mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, contract drafting and disputes, and public offerings.
Choosing the right business structure is one of the most consequential decisions a new business owner will make. The entity type you select affects your tax obligations, personal liability exposure, management structure, and long-term flexibility. Our attorneys guide clients through the formation of corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and other entities, ensuring that the structure is properly established and aligned with your business goals. For businesses with agricultural operations, our agricultural representation team can advise on ranch and farm entity structuring as well.
Well-drafted contracts are the foundation of any successful business relationship. Our attorneys prepare, review, and negotiate a wide range of business agreements — including purchase agreements, lease agreements, service contracts, buy/sell agreements, and partnership agreements — with a focus on protecting your interests and minimizing future risk. When contract disputes do arise, our litigation team is ready to step in and advocate for your position.
Whether you are acquiring a business, selling one, or merging with another entity, the transaction requires careful legal oversight from start to finish. Our attorneys assist with due diligence, deal structuring, negotiation, and documentation to help ensure that transactions close smoothly and that your interests are fully protected. We work efficiently to keep deals on track while identifying and addressing potential legal risks before they become problems.
Beyond transactions and formation, many of our business clients rely on CD&M as their ongoing legal resource for day-to-day matters — from reviewing agreements and advising on regulatory compliance to assisting with estate planning considerations for business succession. As a full-service Lubbock law firm, we are equipped to support your business at every stage of its growth.
