Peters Kussmaul Crosier helps Celina owners form companies and document the owners' deal, negotiate customer and supplier contracts, buy and sell businesses, and resolve disputes.
Celina's economy is still taking shape as new neighborhoods fill the land between Preston Road and the Dallas North Tollway, which is being extended north toward the city. Home building drives much of the activity, locally owned boutiques, cafés and restaurants gather around the historic Square, and new retail follows Preston Road. That means construction contracts that hold up when payment stalls, franchise and supplier agreements, and clear terms among first-time business partners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ask a QuestionWe're a Celina trade contractor working for home builders. What should our subcontract cover?
Scope and price, when you get paid and how much retainage is held, a written change order process, and who bears the cost of delays caused by others. Read the indemnity and insurance sections closely, since builder forms often shift risk to the subcontractor. See construction disputes.
We're opening a franchise in Celina. What should we look for in the territory terms?
In a city adding neighborhoods this quickly, check whether the territory is exclusive, how it is drawn, and whether the brand can open other outlets or sell online inside it. Item 12 of the disclosure document is the place to start. See franchise law.
Two of us are opening a café on the Celina Square. What should our company agreement cover?
Who contributed what, who runs the business, how profits are split, and what happens if one owner wants out. Agreeing on a buyout method now is far easier than after a falling-out. See operating agreements.
