Small Business Legal Advisory & Commercial Real Estate Services in Houston, Texas

I'm Lorraine, a dedicated and optimistic #BusinessConsultant #LegalAdvisor and #CommercialBroker based in Houston, Texas. I’m a Native Houstonian, graduated from the University of Houston Law Center in 2005, and have been working as an attorney throughout Texas for over 17 years. In my free time, I love to write short fiction and have translated this into professional editing services. I'm a word and grammar nerd! Professionally, I love the energy of working with small businesses and being able to set them on a path for growth. A big business starts small!

As a Trusted Business Advisor, my extensive real world experience gives me a unique perspective and makes me a valuable asset to my clients. From my own hands-on background, I know your operational funds are precious. Allocation of those funds need to be precise and effective. My specialties include advising start-ups, #HoustonEnergyCorridor industrial and office sales and leasing, investor development, contract law, corporate compliance, commercial transactions, and marketing management.

In 2008, I transitioned from a litigation-based practice to in-house counsel roles and have since served as a C-Level Executive in a variety of positions and industries, including Oil & Gas, Entertainment, and Renewable Energy. With over 17 years of executive, cross-industry experience, I am able to effectively advise my clients with any and all of their small business needs. My experience includes, but is not limited to: business model development plan implementation, planning corporate identity & branding, customer relationship management, authoring policies and procedures, authoring contracts, risk management, #humanresources including #employeeonboarding, and #negotiations.

I am a visionary, high-performing C-Level Executive and Trusted Business Advisor who creates innovative ways to establish strategic, mutually beneficial partnerships and a superior customer experience, with a proven record of financial, corporate, and market growth. I’m a skilled communicator at all levels who effectively optimizes team performance, and am a flexible thinker adept at building rapport with key stakeholders and implementing pivotal marketing strategies that drive revenue.

Does your company need expert guidance to reach the next level? If so, you've come to the right place. Get to know me to see how I can help take your organization from Point A to Point B!
