Business counsel for Kerr County companies

We help Kerrville businesses choose and form the right entity, write company and shareholder agreements, review leases and vendor contracts, hire and contract with workers, raise money from investors or lenders, and buy or sell companies. For businesses that need regular help, our outside general counsel arrangements give you a set team that knows your company and answers questions as they come up.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a business lawyer in Kerrville, TX?

Can a law firm prepare loan documents for a community bank at a fixed fee?

Yes. Many law firms prepare commercial loan documents for community banks at a set fee per loan, based on the loan type. A fixed fee makes closing costs predictable for the bank and the borrower, and it encourages a steady, repeatable process. The fee usually covers the core documents, review of the borrower's organizational documents, and basic searches, while extras such as additional entities, negotiations with borrower's counsel, or out-of-state collateral are priced separately. Kennedy Sutherland LLP prepares commercial loan documents and offers fixed-fee loan documentation packages. Fixed-fee packages available. Call 210.259.3885 for a quote.

Do I need a lawyer to buy a small business in Texas?

Texas law does not require a lawyer to buy a small business, but buying one without legal help is risky. A lawyer helps decide whether to buy assets or stock, reviews the seller's contracts, leases, permits, employees, debts and liens, drafts or negotiates the letter of intent and purchase agreement, and protects you with representations, warranties, indemnities, escrows, and non-compete terms. If a bank or SBA loan is involved, counsel coordinates closing documents with the lender. Problems hidden in a business, such as unpaid taxes, missing licenses or contract restrictions on transfer, often surface only through careful diligence. Kennedy Sutherland LLP represents buyers and sellers in business acquisitions.

Does a Texas business and bank law firm serve the Hill Country locally?

Yes. Kennedy Sutherland LLP's managing partner, Dub Sutherland, is based in Fredericksburg, and the firm's San Antonio and Austin offices support Hill Country clients. Jason Shoup is based in Boerne and works with the firm's Boerne clients. The firm has represented community banks and privately held businesses since 1983, including outside general counsel work, business formation, mergers and acquisitions, contracts, real estate, tax, and bank corporate, compliance and loan documentation work. KS serves Gillespie, Kerr, Kendall, Mason and Blanco counties and clients across Texas. Call 210.259.3885 to talk with the team.
