Business Attorneys Serving Sugar Land, TX

Peters Kussmaul Crosier represents Sugar Land companies and their owners in acquisitions and exits, company formation and early-stage funding, licensing and client contracts, and litigation. We also serve as outside general counsel for growing firms.

Sugar Land grew up around a sugar mill and refinery, and the old refinery site is now the city-owned Imperial Historic District. The city's economic development office names advanced manufacturing, life sciences, business services and IT as its leading sectors and points to Sugar Land Business Park, Town Square and the regional airport. The University of Houston also has a campus here. That mix puts much of the legal work in licenses, supply terms and client contracts, plus questions about who owns software and research.

How We Help Sugar Land Businesses

Business Disputes in Sugar Land

Sugar Land lies entirely in Fort Bend County, so state court business cases are generally heard by the Fort Bend County district courts in Richmond. In federal court, the city falls within the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Licensing and supply contracts often call for arbitration, which can take a dispute out of court entirely.

Ask a Question

Our Sugar Land life sciences company relies on one supplier for a key material. How do we protect ourselves?

Clear specifications and testing rights, notice before the supplier changes its process, a right to qualify a second source, and remedies for late or out-of-spec shipments. Also set how long supply continues after the contract ends. See supply and distribution contracts.

We're selling our Sugar Land manufacturing company. Do our permits and equipment leases go with it?

Not automatically in an asset sale: owned equipment moves by bill of sale, but many permits must be reissued, and leases and key contracts often need consent. In a stock sale most stay with the company, subject to change-of-control clauses. See asset purchases.

Can our Sugar Land IT company keep clients from hiring away our technicians?

Many IT firms bar the client from hiring staff assigned to its account during the engagement and for a period after, often with a placement fee as the remedy. Narrow clauses hold up better than broad ones. See contracts.
