VICTOR MCCALL, JD
Victor has over twenty-eight years of experience as an attorney with a focus on business law, including but not limited to entity formation, business sales and purchases, joint business enterprises, business structuring, and business contracts. His background in litigation gives him the ability to understand the difference between a good and bad agreement and spot holes in contracts. Many lawyers practice business law without experience in litigation, but Victor is unique. Because of his dual background, Victor knows when a contract will not stand up in court, and he can offer all of the protections that a client needs when negotiating and drafting. Licensed in Texas, Victor represents both privately held and publicly traded companies across the globe, championing their business goals.
From tech, construction, manufacturing, and oil companies to medical practices, Victor assists clients from a broad spectrum of industries. Well versed in mergers and acquisitions, Victor takes buyers and sellers from start to finish. From filing the correct paperwork and predicting future problems, to finding the best resolutions, Victor works with his clients every step of the way. He knows how to navigate the varying and complex processes of buying and selling a business. In one such case, Victor worked with an investment banker to finance a multi-million dollar oil sands mining operation in Canada.
Trained in Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution, Victor has a strong record of settling cases for his clients, in one instance forcing a multi-million dollar purchase of a client’s interest in a company. And when focused on personal injury litigation, he achieved a $3.75 million settlement for a family who suffered the loss of their child due to the gross negligence of a company.
Victor attributes his unique and powerful approach to law to his parents who profoundly impacted his life, from his father’s emphasis on education – ongoing and throughout his life – to his mother’s lessons on the importance of empathy. Because of their guidance and influence, Victor is able to relate, communicate and listen to his clients, setting him apart in the field of law.
Victor and his wife, Autumn, live in Dallas with their standard poodle, Archie, known as “law dog” around the office when he visits most Fridays. Victor is especially proud of his two sons, Hunter and Chase. Besides volunteering annually with the Trinity River Clean-Up, Victor donates legal aid to several children’s charities. Victor enjoys fly fishing, travel, collecting wine and exploring the best restaurants in Dallas.
