Roy G. Morris — The Business Attorney Who Also Thinks Like an Accountant
Before going to law school and eventually founding The Morris Legal Group, Mr. Morris worked as a tax specialist at Arthur Andersen, advising on exactly the kinds of financial structures that later became his legal specialty. He went on to earn his J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law and a Master’s Degree in Taxation from DePaul University, then received two federal appointments — leading litigation teams that closed banking and lending institutions, and later developing the in-house litigation section of the FDIC. That is a résumé built on evaluating financial risk at an institutional level, not just drafting contracts.
What that means in practice for a Flower Mound business: entity selection is a tax decision as much as a legal one; a buy-sell agreement carries tax consequences the moment it’s triggered; and a poorly structured contract can create financial exposure no one notices until it’s too late. Roy G. Morris evaluates all of it — legal, financial, and tax — in the same conversation.
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 Flower Mound, TX
The right entity structure depends on your specific goals, the number of owners, how you plan to be taxed, and your liability exposure. Because entity selection has immediate and long-term tax consequences — not just legal ones — this is a decision that benefits significantly from an attorney with Roy Morris’s accounting and tax law background.
Q: Why do I need a buy-sell agreement for my business?
A buy-sell agreement is a legally binding arrangement between co-owners that governs what happens to an owner’s interest if they die, become disabled, retire, or choose to leave. Without one, a co-owner’s share of your Flower Mound business could pass to their heirs or become the subject of litigation at the worst possible time.
Q: Do I need a business attorney to review or draft contracts?
Every significant business relationship in Flower Mound — with suppliers, customers, employees, landlords, and partners — should be governed by a clearly written, enforceable contract. Generic online templates frequently fail to account for Texas-specific law or the particular terms of your business relationship.
