Peters Kussmaul Crosier gives Allen companies and their owners one business law firm for acquisitions and sales, entity formation and equity plans, everyday contracts, outside general counsel services and commercial lawsuits.
Allen sits at the crossroads of U.S. 75 and State Highway 121. Its economy leans on technology, telecommunications and electronics, financial services and professional firms, many in Class A offices around the Watters Creek District. Light manufacturers work along State Highway 121, and The Farm in Allen adds an entertainment district. That mix brings licensing and customer contracts, ownership agreements for advisory firms, supply terms for manufacturers, and sales of established companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that isn't answered here? Call us at (817) 631-8842 or send a message.
Ask a QuestionBefore we sell our Allen software company, what IP and contract problems should we fix?
Start with ownership of the code: missing IP assignments from founders, employees or contractors are a frequent gap, and so are untracked open-source licenses. Then check customer contracts for clauses that require consent to an assignment or a change of control. See due diligence.
Three partners own our Allen advisory firm. How should we plan for one of them retiring?
Sign a buy-sell agreement while everyone still agrees. It should cover what triggers a buyout, how the retiring partner's share is valued and paid, and whether that partner can take clients along. See shareholder and buy-sell agreements.
Where would a dispute with an Allen manufacturer or supplier be decided?
Check the contract first, since many supply agreements require arbitration or name a county for any lawsuit. Otherwise, a claim against an Allen company usually goes to the Collin County district courts, or to federal court in some disputes between companies from different states. See arbitration and mediation.
