Round Rock, Texas
12 Yrs Experience
Licensed in TX IL
Valparaiso University School of Law

My clients know me as more than just an attorney. First and foremost, my background is much broader than that. Prior to attending the Valparaiso University School of Law, I earned a Master of Business Administration and ran a small business as a certified public accountant. Thanks to this experience, I possess unique insight which in turn allows me to better assist my clients with a wide range of business and tax matters today. In total, I have over 20 years of experience in financial management, tax law, and business consulting, and I’m proud to say that I’m utilizing the knowledge I’ve gained to assist the community of Round Rock in a variety of ways. In my current practice, I provide counsel to small to medium-sized businesses, nonprofit organizations, and everyday individuals. Though my primary areas of practice are estate planning, elder law, business consulting, and tax planning, I pride myself on assisting my clients in a comprehensive manner. Whenever I take on a new client, I make an effort to get to know them on a personal level. This, of course, begins with listening. It is important that I fully understand their vision so I can help them successfully translate it into a concrete plan of action that meets their goals and expectations. I appreciate the individual attributes of each client and know firsthand that thoughtful, creative, and customized planning can maximize both financial security and personal happiness. During my time as a certified public accountant, I cultivated an invaluable skill set. After all, while my legal education has given me a deep understanding of tax law, I would not be the tax attorney I am today without my background in accounting. Due to my far-reaching experience, I am competent in unraveling even the most complex tax mysteries and disputes. My CPA training benefits my estate planning practice, too. In the process of drafting comprehensive wills and trusts, I carefully account for every asset and plan for any tax burdens that may arise, often facilitating a much smoother inheritance for the heirs of my clients. Prior to becoming certified as a CPA, I made sure to establish a solid foundation in business both in and out of the classroom, and the acumen I’ve attained has served me well. Not only am I better able to run my own practice than I otherwise would be; I am able to help other small business owners fulfill their dreams, as well.

Corporate Governance Legal Questions and Answers

Corporate Governance

Corporation Agreement

Texas

Asked on Jul 2, 2025

Can I form a corporation with multiple shareholders and still maintain control over the decision-making process?

I am considering forming a corporation with multiple shareholders for my new business venture, but I am concerned about maintaining control over the decision-making process. I want to ensure that my vision for the company is not compromised by the opinions or actions of other shareholders, so I would like to know if there are any legal mechanisms or strategies available to me that would allow me to retain control over key decisions and protect my interests as the majority shareholder.

Darryl S.

Answered Aug 5, 2025

If you are the majority shareholder and intend to retain majority ownership, then standard shareholder voting of majority would leave you in control. If your shares eventually become less than the majority, you can maintain control through several key mechanisms: establish a dual-class share structure where your shares carry multiple votes per share while investors get single-vote shares, allowing you to retain voting control even with less than 50% ownership. Additionally, implement supermajority voting requirements for major decisions and structure shareholder agreements that give you veto power over key corporate actions. Consider requiring board composition that ensures you can appoint the majority of directors. You likely want to put these in place at the beginning.

Corporate Resolution

Texas

Asked on Sep 24, 2024

Can a corporate resolution be revoked or amended after it has been adopted?

I am the CEO of a small corporation and recently our board of directors adopted a corporate resolution to authorize a significant business transaction. However, since then, new information has come to light that suggests the transaction may not be in the best interest of the company. I am wondering if it is possible to revoke or amend the corporate resolution that was previously adopted in order to prevent the transaction from moving forward.

Lorraine C.

Answered Oct 29, 2024

I would highly recommend you have an attorney review this issue for you. There are many questions that require resolution prior to knowing whether the board’s action can be amended or revoked, including what your company’s foundational documents say about the powers of the board and the CEO. Further, without reading the resolution, I am not able to determine whether the board resolution simply allows the course of action if determined prudent (in which case, no modification necessary) or if the board is actually mandating the course of action. Regardless, a competent attorney should be able to advise you. I would be happy to assist if you like.

Corporate Governance Agreement

Texas

Asked on Apr 10, 2025

What are the legal requirements for corporate governance?

As a business owner, I recently expanded my company and appointed a board of directors to ensure effective decision-making and accountability. However, I am unsure about the legal requirements for corporate governance and want to ensure that I am in compliance with all necessary regulations and best practices. I would like to know what specific laws and regulations apply to corporate governance, including the role and responsibilities of directors, disclosure requirements, and any potential liabilities I should be aware of.

Jennifer B.

Answered May 6, 2025

It is great that you're thinking about corporate governance as you expand. Corporate governance requirements depend on your entity type (corporation [C-Corp or S-Corp]/limited liability company) and state of formation and operations, which can differ. In addition to the state requirements, you are also governed by your Company Agreement or bylaws and their requirements. Effective corporate governance is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Companies and industries have unique challenges, but there are practical solutions that enhance governance while supporting business growth and innovation. Working with a lawyer who understands business can help you set up governance procedures for now and as you grow.

Corporate Resolution

California

Asked on Aug 11, 2024

What is a Corporate Resolution and how is it used in business?

I am currently working as a manager in a small business and we are in the process of making important decisions regarding the company's operations and financial matters. I have heard about the concept of a Corporate Resolution but I am not entirely clear on what it entails and how it is used in a business setting. I would like to understand the purpose and significance of a Corporate Resolution, as well as the legal requirements and implications associated with it, so that I can ensure our decision-making process is legally sound and in compliance with corporate governance standards.

Jonathan W.

Answered Sep 10, 2024

A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a binding decision made by a corporation's board of directors or shareholders. It outlines the actions the company intends to take and serves as an official record of these decisions. Corporate resolutions are legally binding and hold significant implications for the company, its directors, and shareholders. Here's a breakdown of their purpose, significance, legal requirements, and implications: Purpose: Corporate resolutions document important decisions, ensuring transparency and accountability within the company. They provide a clear record of the decision-making process and the individuals involved. Additionally, they can be used to demonstrate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Significance: Corporate resolutions serve as evidence of a company's actions and can be used to enforce agreements, resolve disputes, and defend against legal challenges. They also play a crucial role in maintaining corporate governance and protecting the interests of shareholders. Legal Requirements: The specific legal requirements for corporate resolutions vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the decision being made. However, some common requirements include: - Proper Authorization: The resolution must be approved by the appropriate corporate body, such as the board of directors or shareholders, following the company's bylaws and applicable laws. - Clear and Unambiguous Language: The resolution should be written in clear and concise language, leaving no room for misinterpretation. - Proper Execution: The resolution must be signed and dated by authorized individuals, typically the corporate secretary or other designated officers. - Record Keeping: The resolution should be maintained in the company's official records for future reference. Legal Implications: Corporate resolutions have several legal implications, including: - Binding Effect: Once adopted, a corporate resolution is legally binding on the company and its stakeholders. - Liability: Directors and officers can be held personally liable for actions taken based on a resolution that is illegal, fraudulent, or violates the company's bylaws. - Enforceability: Corporate resolutions can be used to enforce agreements and contracts entered into by the company. In conclusion, corporate resolutions are essential tools for documenting and formalizing important corporate decisions. They ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with legal requirements, while also protecting the interests of the company and its stakeholders.

Articles of Association

Ohio

Asked on Jun 30, 2024

Can a company amend its Articles of Association without shareholder approval?

I am a shareholder in a company and recently discovered that the company has amended its Articles of Association without seeking shareholder approval. I am concerned about this as I believe that shareholders should have a say in changes that affect their rights and interests. I would like to know if it is legally permissible for a company to make such amendments without shareholder approval, and if not, what actions can I take to address this issue?

Darryl S.

Answered Jun 30, 2024

Amending a company's Articles of Association typically requires shareholder approval. The specific requirements can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the company's governing documents. You'll need to carefully review those documents and speak with an attorney about next steps if the amendment was not properly executed.
