Peters Kussmaul Crosier works with Arlington companies on acquisitions, formation, the contracts a business runs on, outside general counsel work, and commercial disputes that don't settle.

Arlington pairs manufacturing and logistics with sports and entertainment. The city's economic development office targets aerospace, automotive, medical devices, industrial machinery and professional services. Arlington also shares the Great Southwest Industrial District, a master-planned logistics park, with Grand Prairie, and the University of Texas at Arlington adds engineering research. That puts supply and distribution contracts and acquisitions of suppliers at the center of the legal work here.

Ask a Question
A supplier sent defective parts to our Arlington plant. What should we do first?

Document the defects and notify the supplier in writing promptly, since Texas law can bar a buyer's claim if notice of the breach doesn't come within a reasonable time. Then check the contract's warranty terms and any limits on remedies. See breach of contract.

Can our Arlington company's contracts require any lawsuit to be filed in Tarrant County?

Only in some deals. Texas courts generally won't enforce a clause choosing a particular county unless the contract is large enough to count as a major transaction under the venue statute, though a clause requiring arbitration in Tarrant County usually holds. See arbitration and mediation.

Our Arlington medical device company is signing its first distributor. What terms matter most?

Territory and exclusivity, minimum purchases, pricing, who handles complaints and recalls, and what happens to inventory when the deal ends. The agreement should also limit the distributor's use of your brand and confidential information to your product line.
