Peters Kussmaul Crosier handles business law for McKinney companies and their owners, from acquisitions and new ventures to day-to-day contracts, outside general counsel services and commercial litigation.
McKinney, the Collin County seat, pairs a historic downtown square lined with locally owned boutiques, galleries and restaurants with a growing industrial base. New light industrial buildings, including semiconductor component plants and warehouses, have gone up across the city, anchored by McKinney National Airport, home to some of the area's busiest corporate flight departments. The city's economic development corporation also offers grants to technology startups. That brings supply and equipment questions for manufacturers, aviation service contracts and acquisitions, owner agreements downtown, and early financing for founders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that isn't answered here? Call us at (817) 631-8842 or send a message.
Ask a QuestionWe're buying a McKinney manufacturing company. What happens to its equipment loans?
Equipment lenders usually hold liens filed with the Texas Secretary of State, and those loans are typically paid off at closing or assumed with the lender's consent. A lien search makes sure none are missed. See asset purchases.
We're moving our tech startup to McKinney. Do we have to re-form it in Texas?
No, a company formed elsewhere, such as in Delaware, can register with the Texas Secretary of State to do business here. If a Texas entity suits you better, a conversion moves the company without starting over. See entity conversions.
Our shop on the McKinney square sells goods on consignment. What should the agreement say?
Who owns the items until they sell, the commission, how prices and markdowns are set, how long unsold items stay, who bears loss or damage, and when the consignor gets paid. A short written agreement avoids arguments later over missing or unsold pieces. See contract drafting and review.
