Greg Hennig

General Counsel

Gregory Hennig is an attorney with concentration in medical device and small business start-up, culminating from his 25 years of legal and business experience. He is an undergraduate of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and a law graduate of the University of Houston Law Center. His experience over 25 years in the corporate business areas includes special skill emphasis in emerging and other life-science and technology companies.

Most recently, Hennig has committed the vast majority of his time to emerging medical advance diagnosis devices in the life-science fields, providing full legal activities and oversight controls in start-up businesses in differing stages of development, with legal services ranging from corporate structure, securities and angel investor completion, through contracts and transactions negotiation, drafting and completion, to general administrative activities including human resource and general compliance management and oversight. Hennig has continual involvement in development of over twenty recent start-ups, emerging and non-profit businesses, all of which have remained lean in the recent economic down-turn and have survived as viable companies with promising futures. He is continuing outsource general counsel for a number of the emerging companies with which he has become associated and been retained.

Included in this has been special support development involving the Texas Emerging Technology Fund development grants and loans program of the Governor’s Office of the State of Texas and activities with the Houston Technology Center and the Houston Bio-Life Science Center.

While an early part of his career included a heavy amount of business and commercial duties, for which Hennig practiced before the state courts of Texas, the federal trial courts in the Southern, Eastern and Western Districts of Texas, and the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal (and further licensed to practice before the US Supreme Court), a purposeful redirection of his legal career shifted totally away from the courts and conflicts to a total desire to build meaningful business interests with measurable impact on the positive growth of client and society needs. This led to the strong current passion in emerging technology, life-science, and specialized interest development in which he has become immersed.

Hennig has been a member of special interest committees and sections of state and federal bar associations, served as a director or committee member of various bar associations (federal, state and special interest), and participated in both program design and as a speaker in numerous continuing legal education programs and efforts.
He has also been a speaker for Continuing Legal Education courses and events in Houston and has been a member of the College of the State Bar of Texas.
