Peters Kussmaul Crosier works with Richardson startups, technology and insurance companies, and family-owned businesses on everything from a first financing round to the sale of a company, plus the contracts and disputes along the way.

Richardson built its economy on telecommunications, and the Telecom Corridor area remains a major employment center, now joined by insurance, health care, technology and finance. The University of Texas at Dallas has a large presence in the Richardson Innovation Quarter, a central district where startups, established companies and academic institutions work together. The CORE District, taking in Downtown, the Interurban neighborhood and Chinatown, is known for independently owned restaurants and shops. Founders here need licenses and financing; established owners need contracts and acquisitions.

Ask a Question

What should our Richardson startup watch for in a university technology license?

Exclusivity and field of use, the royalty and any equity the university takes, and whether you can sublicense. Watch the diligence milestones too, since missing them can cost you exclusivity or the license itself. See licensing contracts.

What makes buying a Richardson insurance agency different from other acquisitions?

Most of the value sits in the book of business and carrier relationships, and carrier agreements often need the carrier's approval to transfer. An asset buyer also needs its own agency license. See asset purchases.

A competitor is using our Richardson company's source code. Where can we sue to stop it?

Usually in the state district court for the county where the misuse happened or the competitor is based, such as Dallas or Collin County. A claim under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act can instead be filed in federal court. See trade secret litigation.
