I represent a diverse mix in a vast array of specialties, including litigation, contracts, compliance, business and financial strategies, and emerging industries. Credit for this foundation of strength goes to those who taught me. Skilled professors and professionals fostered my powerful educational and professional background. Prior to law school, I earned dual Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration & Accounting from Peru State College. I received a Master of Business Administration degree from Chadron State College. My ambitions did not stop there. While working full time as a Senior Accountant for the University of Missouri, Columbia, I achieved the lifelong goal of becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Mizzo provided excellent opportunities and amazing experiences. Managing over $50M in government and private research funding was a gift. As a high ranking professional in the Department of Research, I was given priceless insight into the greatest scientific, journalistic, medical, and legal minds in the world. My passion for successful growth did not, and has not stopped. I graduated summa cum laude (top 3%) with a Doctorate in Law, emphasizing in urban, land use and environmental/toxic tort law from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. This success lead to invaluable experiences of serving as Hon. Brian C. Wimes' judicial clerk for the U.S. District Court for the W. D. of Missouri, as a staff editor/writer for UMKC Law Review, and as a litigation and transactional attorney with Lathrop GPM (fka Lathrop & Gage). My professional and personal network is expansive, with established relationships throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although I engage in legal practice all over the country, I maintain law licenses in Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Federally, I hold licenses in the W.D. and E.D. of Missouri and the District of Nebraska. To offer extra value, efficiency, and options, I maintain a CPA license and am obtaining a real-estate brokerage license.

"I contacted Parachini Law after I had sent multiple unanswered information requests a third party. Mark not only send out a record request to the address specified, but also sent out additional requests at other possible business addresses to ensure the request was received. As a result, I finally received the information I was looking for. The firm was very professional to work with."

Corporate Legal Questions and Answers

Corporate

Shareholders Agreement

Kansas

Asked on Jun 2, 2023

Shareholders agreement and indemnification?

I am a founder of a startup business and I recently entered into a Shareholders Agreement with my business partners. I am looking to understand how the agreement handles indemnification for the shareholders. I am seeking clarity on the extent of liability that I may be held responsible for as a shareholder.

Ben P.

Answered Jun 13, 2023

The answer to your question will largely depend on the specific terms of the Shareholders Agreement, and whether the claims, and potential liability, come from a third party, the corporation itself, or your fellow shareholders. It might also depend on any other role(s) you have with the corporation as a director, officer, employee, and/or agent. A Kansas statute (K.S.A. 17-6305) provides specific parameters regarding a corporation's basic indemnity obligations for its directors, officers, employees, or agents. However, a shareholders agreement, the articles of incorporation, and/or bylaws might provide for more details regarding an indemnification review and approval process, the advancement of fees, or other requirements or protections. Related to indemnification by the corporation itself, the existence and extent of any insurance coverage for directors and officers liability (a D&O policy) could be a vital consideration in certain situations. You should consult with an experienced attorney regarding the specific terms of your Shareholders Agreement, any other relevant corporate documents, and the particular concerns you might have to make sure you fully understand the extent of any protection provided, and whether there are any uncertain areas or issues that need to be addressed.

Due Diligence Report

California

Asked on Aug 25, 2025

What is the purpose and importance of a Due Diligence Report?

As a small business owner, I am considering entering into a partnership with another company, but before proceeding, I want to understand the purpose and importance of a Due Diligence Report. I have heard that it is a crucial step in assessing the financial and legal risks associated with a potential business deal, and I want to ensure that I have all the necessary information and insights to make an informed decision.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 5, 2025

When you're thinking about entering into a business partnership, a Due Diligence Report isn’t just a formality. It’s your insurance policy. Think of it like hiring a private investigator to dig into every part of your potential partner’s business, especially the parts that might not show up until it's too late. Done right, due diligence covers four key areas: financial health, legal status, operational strength, and market reputation. Let’s Talk Money First Financial due diligence isn’t just about checking a few profit-and-loss statements. You want to understand how money really flows through the business. That means looking at cash flow over a few years, checking whether their customers actually pay on time, and digging into outstanding debts, including any personal guarantees the owners have signed. For example, they might look profitable on paper, but if their top clients delay payments or argue about invoices, cash flow could be a real problem. You also want to uncover liabilities that don’t show up on the balance sheet. Pending lawsuits, warranty obligations, or environmental cleanups can quietly become your problem once you're tied together. And taxes? Those are non-negotiable. Unpaid payroll or sales taxes can turn into personal liability in many states. That’s not something you want to inherit. Legal and Regulatory Risks This part is about making sure the business is actually in good standing and that nothing in their legal structure or contracts could come back to bite you. You’ll want a thorough review of any ongoing litigation, along with a close read of their major agreements. Some contracts might have clauses that restrict operations or create extra obligations you weren’t expecting. Employment agreements can be especially tricky. Non-compete clauses or change-of-control terms might trigger bonus payouts or resignations if ownership shifts. Licensing is another area to watch, especially in regulated industries. Operating without a valid license can shut a business down immediately. And if the company claims to own valuable intellectual property, a good due diligence process will verify those claims through proper trademark and patent records. Next, Take a Hard Look at Operations This is where you figure out whether the business can actually deliver what it promises. Who are the key players? Are they under contract? What happens if they leave? You also need to understand the supply chain. If the business relies heavily on a single supplier, that’s a serious vulnerability. Don’t forget the tech. Many businesses run on outdated systems that won’t integrate with yours or scale with growth. Fixing that after the deal is signed can get expensive quickly. Reputation Matters, Too The company might look solid internally, but how does the market see them? You’ll want to assess their competitive position and whether their revenue depends heavily on just one or two customers. If 60 percent of their income comes from one account, losing that relationship could collapse the whole operation. You should also review their online footprint, compliance history, and any bad press. If their name is tangled in negative headlines or public disputes, it could affect your brand just by association. What Do You Do with All This Information? Use it to shape your negotiations. If financials are shaky, you might want the owners to personally guarantee certain obligations or ask for monthly reporting. If litigation is pending, you can negotiate indemnification clauses that protect you if things go sideways. It also helps you choose the right deal structure. Maybe a joint venture makes more sense than a general partnership. Limiting liability could save you from taking on more risk than necessary. Can You Do This Alone? You can review basic documents yourself, but deeper analysis often needs professionals. A CPA can spot issues in financials and tax returns that might not be obvious at first glance. Employment attorneys can identify red flags in hiring practices or compensation agreements. If the business operates in a complex industry, bring in someone who knows that space. Tech companies especially should get a cybersecurity review. You don’t want to discover a data breach after you sign. What’s This All Going to Cost? Professional due diligence usually runs between $5,000 and $25,000, depending on how complex the business is. But more often than not, it pays for itself, either by uncovering issues that give you leverage or by helping you walk away from a bad deal before it’s too late. Expect the process to take four to eight weeks. You’ll usually get some early insights within the first two, but thorough analysis takes time. Building that into your timeline prevents rushed decisions and costly surprises.

Partnership Agreement

Tennessee

Asked on Oct 6, 2022

What is a limited partnership agreement?

Being asked to sign one and not sure what it is. I'm trying to create a partnership with a few of my colleagues and I'm concerned about the word 'limited'.

Michael S.

Answered Oct 25, 2022

We really need to know more about the business and how everyone envisions ownership in order to answer the question. In general (and this is very general - I am a PA lawyer, not Tennessee), a limited partnership is an entity through which a business or property is owned. In a limited partnership, you need to have a general partner (either one more individuals or entities) who essentially manage the entity, and also have liability for all liabilities of the general partnership. The limited partners invest in the entity, but have no liability for the entity's obligations.
