OUTSIDE GENERAL COUNSEL

The Choyce Firm is operated by a Houston business and oilfield lawyer who has served as a senior officer and general counsel for a multi-national publicly-traded company and has represented corporate clients throughout his legal career.   The Choyce Firm was formed for the sole purpose of making this expertise available to individuals, businesses and small-to-medium sized organizations in a cost-effective, efficient manner.  For many small and medium-sized businesses, staffing a legal department does not make financial sense.  For such organizations, having an outside general counsel with significant hands-on experience dealing with the legal affairs of domestic and international business is their best, most cost-efficient option.   The Choyce Firm understands how business operates, and as your outside general counsel, will establish the personal relationships with you that your business needs and will strive to become an integral part of your executive management team. 

The Choyce Firm is uniquely qualified to provide outside general counsel services to small and medium- sized businesses that require the highest level of legal oversight but do not have their own staff of in-house lawyers.    As outside general counsel, The Choyce Firm can assist you on all aspects of your legal needs, whatever they may be, including:

• Employment matters;
• Business structuring;
• Mergers and acquisitions;
• Corporate, legal and regulatory compliance;
• Development and implementation of corporate compliance  policies and procedures;
• Contract review and negotiation;
• Corporate secretary, board of director and shareholder matters;
• Bank and other capital financing;
• Intellectual property practices and transactions; and
• Debt collection.

Outside general counsel services provided by the Choyce Firm are specifically designed to meet each client's particular needs.  Services are provided on a flat fee, hourly rate or other structure based upon each client's specific requirements.
