Dallas Business Counsel for Growing Companies
Roberts & Willie, PLLC is a Dallas boutique founded in 2015 to give successful and growing businesses an alternative to the traditional large-law-firm model. We deliver transactional and corporate counsel with the responsiveness, accessibility, transparency, and value modern businesses expect.


Fractional General Counsel
Entity formation through ongoing outside general counsel: contracts, governance, financing, and day-to-day legal needs without a full-time in-house hire.

Finance & Loan Closings
We close loans for financial institutions and private equity groups — from smaller commercial loans to larger multi-party financings — with fixed fees or estimates/fee caps where appropriate.


Private Equity & M&A
We advise on M&A, private placements, and complex contract negotiation, including MSAs and related commercial agreements, with particular experience in transportation, manufacturing, and real estate.

Trademarks & Copyright
Searches, clearance, USPTO/copyright filings, and enforcement support including cease-and-desist and related measures.

Our Approach
Since 2015, Roberts & Willie, PLLC has provided practical legal services with a focus on value and predictable costs. We offer fixed-fee options for businesses of all sizes, including streamlined business transactions starting at $5,000.
