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."

Startup Stock Option

Kansas

Asked on Jun 12, 2025

What are the key elements to include in a startup agreement?

I am in the process of starting a new business with a partner and we want to ensure that we have a solid legal foundation for our venture. We are looking to draft a startup agreement that will outline the rights, responsibilities, and ownership structure for both of us. We want to make sure that all important aspects such as equity distribution, decision-making authority, and exit strategies are properly addressed in the agreement. What are the key elements that should be included in a startup agreement to protect both parties and ensure a smooth operation of our business?

Christopher N.

Answered Jun 13, 2025

The answer to your question depends on a variety of factors, the number of partners, the amount of money involved, the underlying business, e.g., is intellectual property involved, or is it restaurant, and the combines risks associated with the business. At a minimum, you need to detail: who owns how much of the company (50/50; 30/70); how much capital is going to be invested by each party and when that money is to be invested; how is that money to be spent and who can spend that money (and what are the limits); what decisions can be made and who has to approve them (vote or unilateral decisions); who is going to manage the day-to-day operations; what are the requirements for adding capital (and where it comes from) ... and how (or when) to withdrawal capital; how are partners added (or withdrawal voluntarily or forcibly); and, much much more. However, many times forming a small company is a very simple affair, but can be complicated. We highly recommend you speak with an attorney that specializes in small businesses. A good attorney will be able to help you with formation, but also be your (non-owner) partner, "outside general counsel," and faciliator of contacts to help you grow your business. Good luck!

LLC

Texas

Asked on Jan 1, 2025

What is the purpose of a Certificate of Organization?

I am in the process of starting a new business and I have been advised to file a Certificate of Organization. I understand that this document is required for limited liability companies (LLCs) and serves as proof of the company's existence. However, I would like to know more about the specific purpose of a Certificate of Organization, what information it typically includes, and any potential legal implications or consequences of not filing this document.

Phillip Z.

Answered Jan 25, 2025

A Certificate of Organization as your LLC's birth certificate in Texas. When you file Form 205, you're officially creating your business and getting all the legal protections that come with it. You'll need to include some basic info: - your company name (with "LLC" in it), - who'll receive any legal papers (that's your registered agent), - where you're located, and - how the company will be managed. You must send the $300 filing fee to the Texas Secretary of State with Form 205. Just remember—without this certificate, your business isn't officially recognized. That means you could be personally liable for any business debts or legal issues, and you'll have trouble with basic things like opening a bank account.

Shareholders Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jun 15, 2023

Shareholders agreement and dividend policies?

I am a shareholder in a small business and am looking to understand the implications of a shareholders agreement and dividend policies on my ownership rights. I am considering entering into a shareholders agreement but want to ensure that I understand how dividends will be paid out and what rights I will have to receive my share of profits.

Daniel D.

Answered Jul 18, 2023

The shareholder agreement should specify your ownership rights and the policy on dividends. Or, the LLC Operating Agreement or Corporate By Laws could state when, to who and how frequent dividends are given out. Without seeing the shareholder agreement it is difficult to say what your rights will be and how the dividends will be paid out as each small business is unique.

Joint Operating Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Jun 11, 2025

Can a Joint Operating Agreement be terminated unilaterally?

I am currently a partner in a joint venture with two other individuals, and we have a Joint Operating Agreement in place. However, due to significant disagreements and conflicts of interest, I am considering terminating the agreement unilaterally. I would like to know if it is legally possible for me to do so, and what potential consequences or liabilities I may face in such a scenario.

Christopher N.

Answered Jun 13, 2025

The short answer is: it depends. The (properly drafted) document itself should discuss a dissolution of the agreement. Absent specific terms in the agreement, state contract and/or business law would control how to disolve the agreement and your partnership. We highly recommend you consult with an expereienced business or contracts attorney that can help the parties resolve their differences: beit working to reestablish or amicably disolve the relationship. Good luck.

LLC

Texas

Asked on Oct 25, 2023

Why hire a lawyer for LLC formation?

I am a small business owner looking to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC). I am aware of the various steps involved in forming an LLC, such as filing paperwork with the state, but I am unsure of the legal ramifications and potential risks associated with this type of business structure. I am seeking advice from a lawyer to understand the legal implications of forming an LLC and to ensure that I am taking the necessary steps to protect my business and my personal assets.

Michael C.

Answered Oct 31, 2023

Here are some of the key reasons why it can be beneficial to hire a lawyer when forming an LLC: - Expertise navigating legal requirements - Forming an LLC involves meeting specific legal and regulatory requirements under state law. A business lawyer can help ensure you take all the necessary steps to properly create and register your LLC so that it obtains legal recognition and protections. - Assistance with operating agreement - Lawyers can draft a customized operating agreement that outlines the ownership structure, member responsibilities, profit/loss distributions, voting rights, and other rules governing your LLC. This agreement is important for establishing how your LLC will operate. - Advice on tax implications - LLCs can choose different tax treatments (like being taxed as a sole proprietorship, partnership, S-corp or C-corp). A lawyer can help you understand the tax implications of these options. - Ongoing legal advice - After forming the LLC, you may need guidance on legal issues like liability protection, employing workers, licensing, contracts, intellectual property, etc. A lawyer can provide trusted counsel. - Compliance with regulations - Lawyers stay up-to-date on all current LLC regulations and can help ensure your LLC remains compliant as laws evolve. Non-compliance can result in penalties or loss of LLC status. The bottom line is that an experienced business lawyer can help you avoid potential mistakes when forming an LLC and provide ongoing guidance to maintain the legal protections an LLC provides. Their expertise makes the lawyer fees worthwhile for many small business owners.
