Roy G. Morris — The Business Attorney Who Also Thinks Like an Accountant
His J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law and Master’s Degree in Taxation from DePaul University led to two federal appointments: leading litigation teams that closed banking and lending institutions, and later developing the in-house litigation section of the FDIC. That institutional-scale financial experience translates directly into the entity structuring and contract work Denton businesses need, whatever stage they’re at.

Frequently Asked Questions — Business Law Attorney in Denton, TX
Business succession planning addresses what happens to your business when you are no longer running it. For a single-owner business, a succession plan might designate a buyer and structure the transaction for tax efficiency; for a multi-owner business, it works alongside a buy-sell agreement.
Q: What is a shareholder agreement and why does a Denton corporation need one?
A shareholder agreement governs how shares can be transferred, what happens when a shareholder wants to exit, and how disputes are resolved. Without one, Texas corporate law fills the gaps.
Q: What should a Denton business owner look for in a commercial lease?
Commercial leases are almost always drafted in the landlord’s favor. Key provisions to review include rent escalation, maintenance responsibility, personal guarantee limits, exclusivity clauses, and assignment and renewal terms.
