My name is Olaide Banks and I’m the lead attorney at Banks & Associates – a Houston-based law firm focused on business owners. We provide a wide array of services for business owners and their families including general counsel, litigation, estate planning and family law.
My focus is business owners. I am CPA and have spent the past 13 or so years working as a lead accountant and CFO for some very successful small businesses.
One question you may have is… what’s up with the beach theme on a business law blog? I was raised near the beach, I love the beach and if things work out like I plan on some days I will be representing you from my chair on the beach.

My goal is always to help my clients work within the law to grow their business and achieve their financial goals. It is very rewarding work.
One of the most valuable insights that I have gained over the past decade plus, is that I don’t have all the answers. So on this blog and in my practice I personally utilize subject matter experts and I strongly recommend that my clients do too. I pride myself on connecting people with the right professionals.
I use this blog to provide insight and answer some general legal questions for entrepreneurs and business leaders. Reading the articles on this blog does not create an attorney client relationship. The articles cover general topics and may not address your specific situation.
In legal services like most other fields you get what you pay for so be careful.
