Drafted for the bad day.
Every agreement is a prediction about a future disagreement. Most are written as if that day will never come.
LMH Law drafts from the other direction. Leen Heresh has litigated the contracts that failed — and 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 covers 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 the sale that concludes it well. For owners who want continuity without a general counsel's payroll, the firm serves as outside counsel on standing terms.
Work undertaken
Entity formation & governance
LLCs, PLLCs, corporations — with operating agreements written for the day the partners disagree, not the day they sign.
Contracts & commercial agreements
Drafting, review, negotiation: services, supply, leases, NDAs — the terms a business actually runs on.
Buying or selling a business
Asset and equity deals 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, 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 — before questions become disputes.
Before you call
New businesses or established ones?
Both. Formation for owners starting something in Williamson County; contract, transaction, and standing-counsel work for companies already running — including those replacing an out-of-town firm with local counsel.
How are transactional engagements billed?
Scope and fee 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, first-call advice — defined together at the start.
