In Rockwall, Peters Kussmaul Crosier represents owners in acquisitions and exits, entity formation, contract negotiation, day-to-day general counsel questions and business lawsuits.

Rockwall, the seat of Rockwall County, sits along Interstate 30 just east of Lake Ray Hubbard. The city's economic development corporation recruits aerospace and defense, food processing, advanced manufacturing and professional services firms, and its Technology Park beside the interstate houses defense, energy, metals, packaging and baked-goods companies. That brings supplier and customer contracts, confidentiality and IP protections, acquisitions of established manufacturers, and the partner agreements professional firms rely on.

Ask a Question
A defense prime wants our Rockwall shop to sign its supplier terms. What should we look for?

Read the flow-down clauses closely, since some carry federal duties such as export controls or cybersecurity standards. Also check payment timing, warranty and liability terms, who owns drawings and tooling, and whether the prime can cancel for convenience.

We're buying a Rockwall food producer. Which licenses should diligence cover?

State food manufacturer licensing, federal food facility registration and the certifications major customers require, and whether each stays with the company or must be reissued. Recall history and customer audit results matter too, since they affect price and the purchase agreement's protections. See due diligence.

Our Rockwall company is teaming with another supplier on a bid. Do we need a written agreement?

Yes. A teaming or joint venture agreement should say who performs which work, how price and profit are divided, who owns what is developed, and what happens if the bid is lost or one side walks away. See joint venture agreements.
