Every agreement is a prediction about a future disagreement.
The best contract never meets a judge — because it was written by someone who knows what a judge would do with it.
Leen has litigated the contracts that failed. That experience is in every document the firm produces: definitions that end arguments, remedies that actually remedy, the clause someone thanks you for in year four.
The practice serves the full life of a closely held company — formation, the agreements that govern it, the deals that grow it, the real estate that houses it, and, when the time comes, the sale that concludes it well.
Work undertaken.
Entity formation & governance
LLCs, PLLCs, and corporations formed properly — with operating agreements written for the day the partners disagree, not just the day they sign.
Contracts & commercial agreements
Drafting, review, and negotiation of the agreements a business actually runs on — services, supply, leases, NDAs, and the terms behind the handshake.
Buying or selling a business
Asset and equity transactions for closely held companies — diligence, documents, and a closing that holds up afterward.
Commercial real estate & leases
Purchases, sales, and leasing for the property side of a Williamson County enterprise.
Employment & contractor agreements
Offer letters, restrictive covenants, and contractor terms for employers who want them enforceable and fair.
Outside general counsel
Standing counsel for owners who want a lawyer who already knows the company — a phone call before the signature, not a lawsuit after it.
Before you call.
Do you work with new businesses or established ones?
Both. Formation for owners starting something in Williamson County, and contract, transaction, and standing-counsel work for companies already operating — including those replacing an out-of-town firm with counsel who's actually here.
How are transactional engagements billed?
Scope and fee are agreed in writing before work begins. Well-defined matters — a formation, a contract set, a lease review — get quoted plainly. [LEEN: confirm fee-structure language]
What does "outside general counsel" include?
A standing arrangement sized to the company: contract review as it arises, governance questions, employment documents, and first-call advice — defined together at the start.
