Solutions Start with Understanding Your Business

Counsel who understand the client's business

Our clients know that a legal problem can only be understood in the business context. We have decades of experience in the industries we serve. That is why we listen to our clients to understand their unique business. We collaborate with our clients to develop a cost effective, appropriate solution to a legal problem that works for business whether it is a regulatory matter, litigation issue, or transaction.

Our clients come from throughout the United States. We assist our clients with matters before both state and federal regulatory agencies. As an Austin-based firm, we regularly interact with the agencies overseeing the energy and utility sectors, as well as other agencies. We represent our clients in litigation in both state and federal trial and appellate courts throughout Texas.

Philosophy

The philosophy behind the Hays Law Firm’s successful client representation is the belief that solutions come from clear understanding, perseverance, and creativity. We are a team of seasoned attorneys with the necessary expertise, practical experience, and creative mindset to be effective in serving our clients' goals and interests. We recognize the difference between complex problems and those that are not. We emphasize strategic legal thinking and planning with our clients. When projects require an appraisal of all alternatives - from negotiation to litigation to mediation or arbitration - we understand what is important.

Effective legal representation requires more than just problem identification, research, writing, and advocacy. Sound counseling and effective advocacy can only be achieved by:

• clearly understanding the client's goals and the essential technical aspects of a problem;

• appreciating the key economic considerations of a project;

• creatively developing all practical alternative solutions and strategies; and

• agility in implementing those strategies.
