Mark P.
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."

Articles of Organization
Missouri
how much does it cost to create a real state single member LLC?
I own a duplex that i rent in columbia MO, and i want to create an LLC
Michael V.
The state filing fee for an LLC's Articles of Organization is about $105. To draft and prepare an operating agreement would cost ~ $500 depending on who you hire. The cost of advisory services (like taxes) after LLC formation will be a little costlier depending on the complexities of the business and its owner.

Dental Associate Contract
North Carolina
Dental associate contract practice sale clauses?
I am a dental associate looking to purchase a practice from a retiring dentist. I am in the process of reviewing the contract and have some questions about the sale clauses. I am concerned about the terms of the sale and would like to understand the implications of certain clauses in the contract.
Shelia H.
Here are a couple of items you should pay close attention to: 1. Be clear about what you are purchasing. There should be an itemized list of personal business property. You will also want to make sure that you have included digital and intellectual property assets. For each item, you will want to make sure that there are no liens on the property and that no one else has any ownership interest in the property. 2. Be clear about any non-compete provisions that you need to have in the agreement. The last thing you want is for the seller to open a competing office or become an investor in a competing practice that's right across the street from you and have your anticipated clients move to the new practice. You need to pay particular attention to how this provision is crafted, given that there are major concerns about restrictions such as non-competes. Additionally, some states have already banned non-competes for employees who are doctors, and the Federal Trade Commission is expected to vote on new rules concerning non-competes in 2024. 3. Thoroughly research and analyze the profit and loss statements, taxes, and employment records. Make sure you understand the cash flow of the operation. It's best to consider having an accountant review all of these documents. These are just three things to think about when purchasing any business. There are many more. Hiring an experienced attorney is one of the best things that you can do to make sure that you are assessing the risks associated with the purchase.

Jane C.
There are many steps to buying a restaurant. Will you be buying the assets? Or will you buy the entity as a whole? To start, I suggest you consult with an attorney. You will need to do many things. A lien search. Depending on how you structure the transfer - contract assignments, lease assumption, IP transfers, etc.

Project Collaboration Agreement
California
What are the key provisions that should be included in a Project Collaboration Agreement?
with background: I am currently working on a collaborative project with another individual and we want to formalize our agreement through a Project Collaboration Agreement. We plan to work together to develop and market a new software product. We have already discussed the general terms of our collaboration, but we want to ensure that the agreement covers all necessary provisions to protect both parties' interests, including ownership of intellectual property, profit sharing, dispute resolution, and confidentiality. What are the key provisions that should be included in a Project Collaboration Agreement to ensure a fair and comprehensive agreement for both parties?
Dolan W.
Hello and welcome to ContractsCounsel.com! My name is Dolan. So first things first is the scope of work. You don't want "project creep" to show up. Lawyers often have to deal with this as well because sometimes the scope of what we do is exceeded by clients on occasion, so being clear on the scope is super important. Also, if you’re both putting in money or other resources, spell out what those are and how they’ll be tracked and you might want to include details on how future expenses will be approved and who’s footing the bill for what. Confidentiality and what to do with the IP is also going to be super important, too. Also, other things like what happens if a party doesn't perform, how you'll handle disputes, where you will handle them, and where notices will be sent are super important. Also, what about decision-making disputes? Think about how those will get handled. Finally, think about profit sharing as well! Come on back to this site and we can draft one up for you!

Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement
California
Can you explain the key elements and potential risks involved in an Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement?
I am a software developer who has recently been approached by a larger company interested in acquiring the intellectual property rights to a software application I have developed. While I am excited about the opportunity, I am also concerned about the potential risks involved in transferring my intellectual property. I would like to understand the key elements of an Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement, such as the scope of the transfer, ownership rights, confidentiality provisions, and any potential liabilities that may arise from the agreement.
Dolan W.
Hello! First, it’s important to outline the scope of the transfer clearly. This means defining which elements of the software are included and ensuring there’s no ambiguity around ownership, so you and the other party know whether all rights or specific limited rights are being transferred. Regarding ownership rights, if this is a full transfer, you’d have full control over any modifications, licensing, or sales. If the other party is retaining any rights (like the ability to create derivative works) that should be very clear in the agreement. Next, confidentiality is important. If any sensitive information or proprietary elements are part of the IP, too. Payment terms are also important. You'll want to clarify whether there’s a one-time payment, ongoing royalties, or milestone-based payments. I Come on to this site if you have any questions! Dolan
