Peters Kussmaul Crosier works with founders and business owners in Bryan and College Station on forming and funding new companies, buying and selling established ones, drafting their contracts and handling business litigation.
Texas A&M University anchors the local economy, and its RELLIS campus in Bryan hosts research, technology testing and workforce training. Restaurants and retail fill the Northgate district across from campus and Historic Downtown Bryan, health care and professional firms serve the wider region, and Texas Triangle Park offers rail-served industrial sites in northeast Bryan. That mix brings technology licensing and startup financing, restaurant and retail purchases, and supply contracts for industrial companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that isn't answered here? Call us at (817) 631-8842 or send a message.
Ask a QuestionOur startup is built on research from Texas A&M. What will investors expect us to have in place?
Proof that the company holds the rights it needs. The Texas A&M System generally owns inventions that come out of university employment or resources, so expect to negotiate a license through Texas A&M Innovation and to collect IP assignments from each founder. See licensing agreements.
We're three partners starting a College Station consulting firm. What should our ownership agreement cover?
Each partner's share, how profits are split and decisions made, and what happens when a partner leaves, retires, dies or becomes disabled, including how that share is valued and paid out. See shareholder and buy-sell agreements.
If a Bryan company and a College Station company end up in a lawsuit, which court hears it?
Both cities are in Brazos County, so a state case usually goes to the Brazos County district courts in Bryan unless a contract points elsewhere. A federal case would go to the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.
