Clinton W. Dennis

For over 14 years, Clint Dennis has represented businesses and individuals in a wide array of business and corporate transactions, estate planning, probate, and real estate matters. Mr. Dennis represents business clients through the entire business lifecycle, beginning with entity formation and structuring, continuing through growth, financing and operations, and finally through sale or winding up.

While Clint regularly advises both buyers and sellers in mergers and acquisitions, for the past several years, Clint’s practice has focused primarily on representing sellers in middle market sales (purchase price between $10 million and $500 million).

In addition to his transactional practice, Clint previously argued numerous motions and trials in various commercial disputes. Due to his experience in both transactional and litigation matters, Clint often serves as outside general counsel to small and mid-sized companies across many industries.

Clint graduated summa cum laude from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2010, where he was inducted into the Order of the Coif, a highly selective legal honor society. Prior to attending law school, Clint obtained his bachelor’s degree in Finance at the University of North Texas, during which time he held management positions in a large, publicly traded corporation.
