Fractional General Counsel services for businesses

We serve the unique needs of business owners who are building a legacy for the next generation

我们是谁

堡垒（Rampart）法律集团由律师侯见融（James Hou）领导的一个小团队组成。我们的专长是处理那些商业和个人法律需求不可分割的人。我们是为那些将自己视为企业的人的个人和商业律师。在我们的经验中，这类客户——通常是第一代专业人士和企业主——努力实现美国梦，并且只有在面对不可避免的法律挑战时才寻求法律支持。

作为移民企业主的儿子，侯见融（James Hou）律师对这种模式有着切身的理解。堡垒（Rampart）的做法是成为侯见融父母当初没有的那种主动支持，预见他们的法律需求，并帮助他们利用法律的优势，为下一代建立更大的成就。

“Rampart”意为堡垒，指的是我们为客户创造的安全空间，在这里他们可以公开谈论他们的计划和挑战。在堡垒（Rampart）内部，他们可以与法律专家仔细商议，从而在外界自信地回答问题和做出决策。与其他律师事务所不同，堡垒（Rampart）法律集团优先考虑轻松和开放的沟通。短信、电子邮件、微信、WhatsApp、咖啡见面、Zoom会议或就餐时，我们从字面上和比喻上与客户见面，满足他们的需求。

我们的工作

侯见融（James Hou）将堡垒（Rampart）模式比作家庭医生的模式。理想情况下，我们都会定期进行检查，以便早期发现问题，并规划长期健康。我们的法律需求也是类似的：有一个了解你和你的法律状况的人是值得的，这样你可以避免问题。

与大多数家庭医生不同的是，堡垒（Rampart）法律集团可以在内部完成大部分“程序”。公司注册、合同、租赁、信托和遗嘱。我们理解这些不仅仅是签署和存档的文件，它们是客户目标和希望的书面表达。

商业像生活一样，会让我们走出舒适区。我们建立堡垒（Rampart）是为了让我们的客户能够自信和轻松地前行。我们通过优先考虑可及性和可用性来实现这一点——不再像其他律师事务所那样安排秘书和办公室预约，而是进行直接和及时的沟通——成为客户在有新想法、发现新机会或面临自身经验局限时的首选联系。我们的客户永远不会独自前行。

我们也与其他专业人士（如券商、财务顾问、注册公共会计师、经济学家等）保持密切合作，在相应领域提供更加深入的互动服务。

Who We Are

The Rampart Law Group is a small team led by attorney James Hou. Our specialty is working with people whose business and personal legal needs are inseparable. We are personal and business attorneys for people whose businesses are themselves. In our experience, clients like these—often first-generation professionals and business owners—work hard to realize the American Dream and only seek legal support when they are faced with an unavoidable legal challenge.

The son of immigrant business owners, James understands this pattern first-hand. Rampart’s approach is to be the kind of proactive support James’ parents did not have, the kind that would anticipate their legal needs and help them use the law to their advantage, to build something greater for the next generation.

“Rampart,” a defensive fortification, refers to the secure space we create and where our clients can speak openly about their plans and challenges. Inside the Rampart, they can deliberate carefully with a legal expert, enabling them to confidently answer questions and make decisions on the outside. Unlike other law firms, Rampart Law prioritizes relaxed and open communication. Text, email, WhatsApp, over coffee, Zoom, or over meals, we literally and figuratively meet our clients where they are.

What We Do

James compares the Rampart Model to that of the family physician. Ideally, all of us get regular checkups so that we can catch problems early, and plan for our long-term health. Our legal needs are similar: it pays to have someone who knows you and your legal health so that you can avoid problems.

Unlike most family physicians, Rampart Law can do most “procedures” in-house. Company registrations, contracts, leases, trusts and wills. We understand that these are not just documents to be signed and filed away, they are the written intentions of our clients’ goals and hopes.

Business, like life, takes us out of our comfort zones. We built Rampart to empower our clients to go forward with confidence and ease. We do this by prioritizing accessibility and availability—dispensing with the scheduling secretaries and in-office appointments of other law firms in favor of direct and responsive communication—becoming our client’s first call when they have a new idea, discover a new opportunity, or face the limits of their own experience. Our clients never go alone.
