We Are the Legal Arm of Your Business

When a business contract or agreement is too vague, businesses often find themselves facing lawsuits and litigation. That is why companies of all sizes need a law firm on their side that can help them draft solid contracts, defend against legal actions & threats and implement procedures that help keep your business compliant with City, County, State & Federal laws.

When Business Agreements Go Sideways

A contract is simply a legally enforceable agreement. In the business world, contracts are the foundation of operations that define relationships, obligations, and expectations. When one party fails to do what they promised, or when there’s a serious disagreement about the terms, you have a contract dispute.

In Houston, businesses often encounter these kinds of contract disagreements:

• Breach of Contract: This is when one party doesn’t perform their obligations as stated in the agreement. Maybe a vendor didn’t deliver goods on time, a service provider didn’t complete work as specified, or a client failed to make payments as agreed.
• Partnership Disputes: When business partners disagree about how the company is run, how profits are shared, or even how to dissolve the partnership, it can quickly become a serious conflict that threatens the entire business.
• Shareholder Agreements: Disputes among shareholders often arise over voting rights, management control, or the sale of shares in a corporation.
• Vendor and Supplier Contracts: Issues frequently come up with agreements for goods or services, such as quality control problems, delayed deliveries, or pricing disputes.
• Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Agreements: Disputes often occur when an employee or former employee is accused of violating clauses that restrict their ability to compete or solicit clients after leaving a company.
• Merger and Acquisition Agreements: After a business transaction, disagreements can arise over earn-outs, indemnification clauses, or representations and warranties made during the sale.
• Franchise Agreements: Disputes between franchisors and franchisees can involve territory rights, royalty payments, or compliance with operational standards.

These disputes can result in lost revenue, damaged business relationships, and significant financial strain. They can disrupt your operations, harm your reputation, and divert your focus from growing your business.

Texas Law and Your Business Contracts

In Texas, contract law is built on a few core principles that ensure agreements are fair and enforceable. For a contract to be legally binding, it generally needs:

• Offer: One business proposes terms to another.
• Acceptance: The other business agrees to those terms.
• Consideration: Something of value is exchanged between the parties (e.g., money for services, goods for payment).
• Mutual Assent: Both parties understand and agree to the essential terms.
• Legality: The purpose of the contract must be legal.

When one of these elements is missing or when one party doesn’t fulfill their part, a dispute can arise. Texas law provides remedies for breach of contract, which might include damages being paid or the breaching party performing the obligations outlined in the contract. In some cases, the court might cancel the contract completely.

The Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code governs many aspects of how these disputes are handled, including statutes of limitations. Generally, your business has four years to file a lawsuit for a breach of a written contract in Texas. This clock usually starts ticking from the date the breach occurred. Missing this deadline means your business might lose its right to pursue a claim, no matter how strong your case is.
