BoyarMiller

What BoyarMiller does

BoyarMiller is a Houston, Texas-based business law firm founded in 1990 and operating as a professional corporation (Boyar & Miller, P.C.). The firm is structured around three core practice groups — Corporate M&A, Real Estate, and Litigation — and has expanded into adjacent specialty services including Family Office Legal Counsel and Investment Fund Formation & Structuring spanning hedge funds, private equity, and alternative investment vehicles.

The firm serves multinational companies, middle-market businesses, and entrepreneurs across industries such as energy (oil & gas and power), healthcare, hospitality, wireless/technology, logistics, manufacturing & distribution, real estate development, and insurance. Representative clients include Armstrong Relocation, Lovett Commercial, Doggett Company, Delmar Systems, Sun Com Mobile, Mosaic Service Partners / Alpine Investors, Main Street Capital, and Bron Tapes. Engagements span M&A advisory, capital formation, fund formation, real estate transactions and development, business and probate litigation, and ongoing outside general counsel work for select clients.

The business model is professional-services fee-for-service, with quote-based, individually negotiated engagements; no pricing is publicly disclosed. Revenue derives from ongoing counsel relationships, transaction-based M&A and real estate mandates, and litigation engagements. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven, with senior attorneys personally involved in client engagements. Business development leans on Chambers USA, Legal 500 US, Best Lawyers in America, U.S. News Best Law Firms, and Houston Business Journal recognition, alongside the Building Texas Business podcast (over 111 episodes), an annual Breakfast Forum, and community programs including the Legal Assistance for Black-owned Businesses (LABB) pro-bono initiative (424 hours since 2021) and the 5 to 9 Women's Initiative. The firm employs roughly 35 attorneys and staff and holds no proprietary technology, API, or AI product offerings.
