What I Focus On

Has your lawyer actually
done this before?

i.

Fractional General Counsel

I've built legal departments from zero — three times. Now I build them for companies that need a GC but aren't ready for a full-time hire.

ii.

Cross-Border Transactions

Dual-licensed in the U.S. and Canada. One attorney for both sides of the border — from de-SPAC transactions to dual-listing on the TSX and NYSE.

iii.

Corporate Governance & Boards

I've been on the board. I've been the GC reporting to the board. I advise on fiduciary duties, risk governance, and investigations from experience — not theory.

iv.

Texas Business Law

From formation to exit. Contracts, M&A, structuring, shareholder agreements, and the strategic counsel that turns a transaction into the right transaction.

Beyond these four areas? IP, litigation, employment, real estate, fintech — I bring in a colleague from Scale LLP. Same firm. Same standards. One relationship.

Client Testimonial

Sometimes Legal can be viewed as the 'business prevention department' — but it was the exact opposite with Chuck. He was extremely strategic, added valuable contributions across all areas of the business, and was a fantastic partner to commercial.
