Firm Details

Most law firms either build your business or defend it. Hendershot Cowart P.C. does both, and has since 1987 – that's nearly 40 years of Texas business and healthcare law experience.

Business Law and Litigation

We form entities, draft the governing documents that decide what happens when partners disagree, and handle the transactions that grow your company. When a deal breaks down, we also help you manage those disputes. Our litigators handle breach of contract claims, shareholder deadlocks, and partnership dissolutions, and we are candid early about which cases are worth trying and which are worth settling.

Healthcare Law

In the past five years alone, we have set up hundreds of medical practices and defended providers against more than 100 state and federal healthcare investigations. We work with physicians, dentists, therapists, and med spa and telehealth founders on practice formation, medical contracts, payer audits, and licensing complaints before the state's medical, nursing, and pharmacy boards. We also advise on compliance with the Stark Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, and Texas's prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine.

OSHA Defense

After a workplace accident and inspection, we defend Texas employers against citations and penalties. We know how OSHA builds a case and where its evidence tends to be thin.

What Working With Us Looks Like

You get answers in plain English, not vocabulary you have to look up. You get a price for the first step before you take it. And you get attorneys who have watched these situations play out for nearly four decades and know what the next step should be.
