What does a Houston business lawyer do?
Businesses are built on relationships between clients, employees, and other businesses. When a business enters into a dispute with one of these parties, they are not always able to come to a resolution without legal assistance. A Houston business lawyer at Mithoff Law can help businesses navigate these disputes, which can be time-consuming, costly, and complex.
How do I choose a business lawyer?
Although the details of cases change from client to client, there are some commonalities in what constitutes a suitable business lawyer. When choosing your Houston business lawyer, make sure to vet for one that has the following:
- Experience handling cases in your industry and/or the ability to leverage strategic partnerships with other firms that are industry experts
- The ability to position you and your case for the most profitable outcome possible, even if that means going to trial
- A reputation for integrity and tenacity
- A strong history of achievement in and out of the courtroom and in-depth knowledge of local and state regulations, laws, and statutes

Why choose Mithoff Law for your business litigation?
Mithoff Law has decades of experience handling all types of commercial disputes. We are often asked to assist with pre-suit mediation and arbitration. The business litigation attorneys have represented clients in several landmark cases during the past 50 years. These cases include:
- Overstated safety records by BP: Attorneys for BP investors told a federal judge that the British oil company misled the market for years on how safe its deep-water drilling operations were in the lead-up to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
- Representing the City of Houston against big banks: The city of Houston filed a lawsuit against 16 international financial services giants, seeking damages related to the alleged manipulation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, which impacts global financial instruments and interest rates.
- Defending Vantage Drilling against fraud: Nobu Su is a major shareholder in Vantage Drilling and was a director of the company accused of breach of fiduciary duties. Mithoff law helped New York-listed Vantage Drilling launch a fraud suit against Nobu Su, the Taiwanese shipping tycoon who controls around one-third of its shares.
“Since he started practicing in 1974, his cases have helped produce reforms in hospital credentialing of physicians and reporting of physician misconduct; prompted medical manufacturers to pull defective products off the market; led hospitals to improve their use of post-surgical intravenous solutions; and triggered a manufacturer’s recall of defective tires.”
