Business Attorneys Serving Houston, TX — Peters Kussmaul Crosier

Peters Kussmaul Crosier represents Houston companies and owners through acquisitions and sales, entity formation and capital raising, contract negotiation, and commercial lawsuits. A typical matter might be a service company's first master agreement or the sale of a business its founder built over decades.

Energy still sets the pace in Houston, from oil and gas producers and pipeline operators to the energy companies of the Energy Corridor on the west side. Chemical plants line the Houston Ship Channel, the port moves goods for the region, the Texas Medical Center anchors health care, and NASA's Johnson Space Center draws aerospace work. That mix brings service and supply contracts, indemnity questions, practice ownership issues and acquisitions in each field.

Ask a Question

We're buying a Houston pipeline services company. How do we guard against old safety or environmental claims?

Diligence comes first: safety records, permits and open claims. The purchase agreement then adds a specific indemnity for known issues, often backed by an escrow, and an asset purchase can leave older liabilities with the seller. See purchase agreements.

We're buying a Houston physician practice. What makes that deal different?

Texas generally requires a practice providing medical services to be owned by physicians, which shapes how the buyer is set up. Diligence covers licenses, payer contracts and patient records, and Texas puts special conditions on non-competes for doctors. See due diligence.

An operator owes our Houston oilfield service company for completed work. Do we have lien rights?

Often, yes: Texas gives contractors and subcontractors who work on oil and gas wells and pipelines a lien on the property and equipment, but the lien affidavit has a strict filing deadline. A demand or a suit on the contract can follow. See breach of contract.
