Peters Kussmaul Crosier helps Garland owners buy and sell companies, form and restructure entities, negotiate supply and customer contracts, and pursue or defend commercial lawsuits. Much of that work is for companies that make, store or sell goods.

Manufacturing and distribution are Garland's top industry sectors, with plants and warehouses served by Interstates 30 and 635 and the President George Bush Turnpike. The city-owned electric utility has made Garland a location for data centers, while downtown, anchored by the Granville Arts Center, and the Lake Ray Hubbard shoreline add retail, dining and entertainment. For manufacturers, the legal work centers on supply terms, equipment and the eventual sale of the company; for data centers, shops and restaurants, on construction, customer and vendor contracts.

Ask a Question
We're buying a Garland machine shop. How do we confirm the equipment is what the seller says?

Check the seller's equipment list against an inspection, maintenance records and the depreciation schedule, then run UCC lien searches and review any equipment loans. The purchase agreement should require delivery free of liens, with lender releases at closing. See due diligence.

Our company is adding data center capacity in Garland. Which contracts come first?

Usually the construction and major equipment contracts, since their schedule and delay terms drive everything after them. Customer agreements follow, with uptime promises and liability limits the building and its power supply can support. See service and vendor agreements.

Can a Garland manufacturer require its customers to arbitrate disputes?

Yes, if the customer agrees, usually through an arbitration clause in signed terms and conditions or a supply agreement. Terms printed only on an invoice may not bind a customer that never accepted them, and arbitration carries its own costs. See arbitration and mediation.
