General Counsel
Service As General Counsel
For many medium-sized companies and closely-held businesses, staffing a legal department is not financially feasible or necessary. For such companies, having an outside general counsel to handle the various legal matters that may occur from the normal operation of our business is their only option. At Hopkins Centrich the business attorneys offer this service to business owners and managers in the Woodlands and Austin areas. It is our desire to build a trusted relationship with companies first by attaining a working understanding of the business, its goals and policies and, secondly, by handling clients' legal affairs in a thorough and diligent manner.
If you are a business owner in need of outside general counsel, Hopkins Centrich has the business law experience and background to assist you. With over 110 years of collective legal experience between the attorneys, they have the background you want and need in the supervision of all legal affairs of business. The firm has large-firm training and experience combined with a small-firm sense of responsiveness and personalized attention to clients' needs.
