We begin by dissecting the operative agreement, identifying every leverage point from cure periods to fee-shifting provisions. Our team secures electronic data immediately, often partnering with forensic accountants who trace lost revenue and calculate delay penalties. Where fast relief is critical, we seek temporary restraining orders to protect cash, inventory, or intellectual property, or we compel arbitration when a private forum offers strategic benefit. Throughout negotiations we align legal remedies with commercial objectives, whether that involves restoring performance, recovering damages, or restructuring the relationship altogether. If trial becomes necessary, disciplined discovery and targeted motion practice keep the opposition on defense and your litigation budget predictable. Roquemore Skierski combines courtroom skill with practical business insight, equipping McKinney companies to safeguard contracts, preserve partnerships, and sustain momentum.

Frequent Contract Pitfalls in Technology, Construction, and Manufacturing
Most disputes trace back to a small cluster of recurring triggers. Scope creep appears when a technology integrator is asked for enhancements that never made it into the statement of work. In construction, accelerated schedules often prompt informal change orders that later conflict with the written document. Manufacturers face late-stage design tweaks that push tooling costs beyond the price originally negotiated. Each scenario highlights the same lesson: leaving key terms unspoken or relying on handshake amendments creates ambiguity that courts must later untangle, often at significant cost.
Remedies That Restore Performance and Recover Losses
Texas contract law offers a toolbox sized to fit the problem. A demand letter that cites notice-and-cure language can secure prompt compliance without litigation. When goods are defective or delayed, Uniform Commercial Code provisions let the buyer reject, revoke, or demand a conforming replacement, limiting operational fallout. Courts can award expectation or reliance damages to put the injured party in the position it expected, and in rare cases specific performance may compel delivery of a unique asset such as custom machinery or proprietary software. Prejudgment interest and carefully documented consequential damages can further close the financial gap created by the breach.
Preserving Proof and Selecting the Best Forum
A rapid preservation notice obligates everyone involved to secure both digital and paper records, protecting against the exclusion of late-produced evidence under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 193.6. Once documents are locked down, counsel evaluates venue strategy. Arbitration clauses move the quarrel into a private setting with limited discovery, temporary injunctions under chapter 65 can freeze contested assets, and a well-supported summary-judgment motion may resolve liability before trial preparation spirals in cost. Matching the procedure to business priorities keeps legal spend proportional and allows leadership to focus on growth.
