A Full-Service Firm Serving Clients Throughout Texas
Hopkins Centrich is a full-service business law firm that handles all business-related law issues (as well as the occasional compliance issue) for a variety of privately owned companies, tech firms, healthcare providers, and architectural firms, among many others . . . as well as an advisor to start-up ventures.
Our expertise is in business, litigation, and planning – business and estate. Our attorneys may have decades of experience, but they never stop researching and learning as they always strive to be on the cutting edge – of legal issues and the technology that will better allow them to serve our clients.
Business Law Services
It’s virtually impossible to compile a comprehensive list of business law issues. The word ‘issues’ isn’t entirely accurate or apropos, either, as business law also encompasses designing and advising companies from the inception of an idea to the sale, merger, or transfer of a successful business decades down the road.
Hopkins Centrich, The Woodlands premier business law firm, has been the business law firm for medium-sized companies and closely held businesses since our founding. Over the decades, we have dealt with issues from initial organization to employment contracts and NDAs to contractual disputes to sales and mergers and everything in between.

Estate and Succession Planning
Estate planning is more than ‘making a will.’ Everyone knows they need a will. Everyone knows, at some level, what happens if they die without one. There’s always a famous person in the news who died without a will to reinforce the point. The chaos that ensues is public and stays that way for years.
Failure to plan or not planning sufficiently can lead to challenges and costly litigation. This is nothing new, Charles Dickens succinctly described those repercussions in Bleak House, “We are always appearing, and disappearing, and swearing, and interrogating, and filing, and cross-filing, and arguing, and sealing, and motioning, and referring, and reporting.”
What Dickens wrote in 1852 is startlingly still accurate. Challenges and litigation are not the legacy anyone wants to leave their family. Hopkins Centrich collaborates with clients to create estate and business succession plans that are comprehensive, coordinated, and integrated while including contingencies for family, law, and tax changes. Estate plans that will allow clients to achieve their goals with regard to their legacy.
Hopkins Centrich understands that estate planning is as much an art as it is a science. We know it can be emotional; we know that even the most sophisticated client will find some instruments, some taxes, and some solutions arcane and/or complicated. Hopkins Centrich is skilled at making complex estate situations and solutions easier to understand.
