CCSE advises companies, owners, investors, institutions, founders, executives, and individuals regarding corporate, commercial, sports, entertainment and other business transactions. In this regard, among other things, CCSE’s attorneys specialize in advising clients regarding mergers and acquisitions (both buy and sell-side), private equity investments and dispositions, corporate financings (both debt and equity), restructurings, and other corporate, commercial, , intellectual property, real estate, sports and entertainment transactions. CCSE’s attorneys also provide outside general counsel services to a myriad of clients across numerous industries. Overall, the services performed by CCSE’s attorneys are typically instrumental in guiding how CCSE’s clients’ businesses are built, grown, and transferred.
CCSE’s attorneys have trained at national law firms and held senior legal and executive roles at major companies. They bring that experience to bear as a boutique firm by providing direct, senior-level attention on every matter without the overhead or institutional constraints of a larger organization. Regardless of the matter, CCSE’s attorneys always endeavor to deliver exceptional client service and sophisticated counsel and to achieve outstanding results on a cost-effective and value-added basis. And while most of CCSE’s services are billed on the traditional hourly basis model, CCSE is willing to utilize “alternative billing arrangements,” such as fixed-fee, blended-rate and equity-in-exchange-for-fees, if it makes sense to CCSE and the client.
CCSE is headquartered in Southlake, Texas, with offices in Dallas, San Diego, and Los Angeles. Our Texas location positions us at the center of one of the country’s most active and expanding corporate markets — serving clients across Texas, California, and the United States.
CCSE approaches every matter — whether a single transaction or an ongoing general counsel relationship — with the same method: understand what the client needs to accomplish, structure the legal work around that objective, and execute with precision.
CCSE was founded by Joseph C. Cane, Jr. in 2006 (under the name Business Law Professional Corporation) to provide sophisticated corporate and transactional legal counsel in a format that serious business clients actually benefit from — where they work directly with experienced attorneys, receive practical advice informed by business reality, and are served by a firm invested in their long-term success. Although the firm has undergone a few name and personnel changes during the more than 20 years since its founding, it has always remained steadfastly focused on delivering exceptional client service, providing sophisticated counsel and achieving outstanding results, on a cost-effective and value-added basis.
CCSE’s attorneys bring backgrounds that span national law firms, corporate general counsel roles, and executive positions at major companies. That range of experience reflects a team that has worked at the highest levels of the corporate and transactional world before bringing that experience to CCSE’s clients. Consequently, CCSE’s attorneys are able to work effectively with counsel on the other side of transactions who typically are at top-tier national law firms. Despite this fact, and because of the breadth of experience they possess, CCSE’s attorneys are not only able to achieve outstanding outcomes for their clients but are customarily able to do so at a much lower cost. Not surprisingly, CCSE prides itself on receiving most of its new engagements from referrals from previous clients and fellow attorneys.
CCSE is headquartered in Southlake, Texas, and has grown alongside the Texas market. As Dallas-Fort Worth continues to develop as a center of corporate and capital markets activity — with the Texas Stock Exchange, NYSE Texas, and Nasdaq all establishing significant presence in the region — CCSE is positioned to serve the legal needs of the companies, investors, and institutions operating in and coming to this market.
