Simon Paschal is a boutique law firm serving Frisco with a strong reputation for focusing on two essential areas of law: employment law and business law. Focusing on these key practice areas, the firm provides tailored legal counsel to small business owners, entrepreneurs and organizations navigating the complexities of running a company.

"We are a boutique law firm, which means we focus on a particular area of law rather than being broad-based lawyers who do a little of everything," co-owner and lawyer Dustin Paschal said. "Our bread and butter is employment law, which means anything related to human resources—wage and hour issues, discrimination, non-compete agreements and employee handbooks. We handle both the litigation side and help clients with documentation and drafting to ensure compliance."

Employment law

For many small businesses, employment law can be a significant challenge. Keeping up with constantly changing federal, state and local regulations can be overwhelming, especially for owner-operated businesses without a full legal team.

“We provide advice on the issues businesses face daily. By focusing on employment law we are able to offer specialized advice that helps small businesses stay compliant and avoid costly legal issues,” Paschal said.

The firm handles everything from workplace discrimination cases to drafting employment contracts and workplace training. They also offer proactive services, such as helping businesses develop policies and procedures that reduce the risk of future litigation.

Business law

As the firm's relationships with clients deepened, it became clear that business owners required more than just legal advice on employment law specific matters—they needed ongoing, comprehensive support in other areas of their business. This evolving need prompted the firm to broaden its services to cover virtually every aspect of business and entrepreneurship.

"As our relationships with clients grew, they began asking for help with everything from structuring their businesses to negotiating contracts and resolving disputes," Paschal said. "It became clear that business owners needed a trusted legal partner who could support them across all areas of their business. Whether it's setting up a business structure, advising on partnerships or reviewing commercial agreements, we’re here to guide them every step of the way."

This comprehensive approach has made the firm a go-to resource for business owners facing the challenges of launching, growing and managing their companies. From choosing the right type of business entity, such as an LLC, corporation or partnership, to ensuring compliance with regulations, the law firm takes a hands-on approach in helping entrepreneurs make informed decisions.

“A lot of new business owners don’t know where to start. We break down their options in a way that’s clear and actionable, helping them select the right legal structure for their goals,” Paschal said.

Efficiency, affordability and personalization

One of the distinguishing features of the law firm is its commitment to efficiency and client-centered service. Unlike large firms with massive overheads and billing structures, this boutique firm prides itself on offering cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality.

"Sometimes clients are hesitant to call us because they think legal help is too expensive. We don’t operate like big law firms, where clients are billed for hours of research and extensive memos," Paschal said. "Instead, we aim to give our clients practical, actionable advice quickly and efficiently. Most of our clients are owner-operators, so they don’t have the luxury of high legal bills. We want to be your partner, not just a vendor."

The firm's approach to legal fees is equally client friendly. They often work with clients to set clear expectations around cost and offer flat fees when possible. This transparency helps alleviate one of the biggest concerns many small business owners have when seeking legal advice—the fear of escalating costs.
