Roger Royse is a partner at Haynes Boone and the founder of the Royse Law Firm. Over his career, he’s advised thousands of startups, built a name in tax and startup law, and authored two books sharing hard-earned lessons with founders and lawyers alike.

Roger’s story goes well beyond law. He’s a CPA, an entrepreneur, an athlete, an author, and a pancreatic cancer survivor. His perspective is shaped by both deep professional wins and personal battles.

In this episode, Roger reflects on his early years building a business tax–centered law firm from scratch, what it means to truly “own your practice,” and why trying different types of law early matters.
