Ask a Question

Two partners in our Tyler medical practice want to retire. How do we buy them out?

Check the company agreement or buy-sell agreement first, since it may fix the price and payment terms. If it doesn't, the owners settle a valuation, a lump sum or installments, and how patient records are handled. See partner buyouts.

A larger company wants to buy our Tyler manufacturing business. What should we do before sharing our numbers?

Sign a nondisclosure agreement that limits how the buyer can use what it learns, and if the buyer is a competitor, hold back customer lists and pricing until later in the deal. See selling a business.

Our Tyler company is suing an out-of-state supplier. Will the case stay in Smith County?

It can if the dispute arose here. When the parties are from different states and enough money is in dispute, the defendant can often move the case to federal court, the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division. A forum clause in the contract may also point elsewhere.
