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."

Morgan S.
Corporate Attorney that represents startups, businesses, investors, VC/PE doing business throughout the country. Representing in a range of matters from formation to regulatory compliance to financings to exit. Have a practice that represents both domestic and foreign startups, businesses, and entrepreneurs. Along with VC, Private Equity, and investors.
"Morgan delivered far beyond the price point. He didn't just review our investor package — he caught gaps two other reviewers missed (including a top-tier venture firm we benchmarked him against), rebuilt the custom documents to professional standard, and added missing closing mechanics we didn't even know we needed: the 83(b) election, escrow instructions, stock assignment. He pushed back on his own client when the documents said otherwise — that's the lawyer you want. §144 analysis citing the 2025 Delaware reform, triple anti-broker-dealer protections, a related-party ARR cap he invented on his own — depth you'd expect at five times the fee, closed out with a proper written memo on firm letterhead. The timeline ran a bit longer than planned in places, but the result was more than worth it: every item closed, every question answered, the whole package consistent and ready to sign. Very happy overall — would hire again, and our next project is already queued."

July 29, 2023 My name is Diamond Simpson Roberts, ESQ, MSPH and I am convinced that I can be a value added asset to most any company. As the first in my family to graduate a four-year university, I graduated from Wayne State University Law School in 2000 but could not afford a bar prep course upon completion. After over 20 years, I sat for the July 2022 UBE, successfully passed and am currently licensed in three states! This is an example of my self-motivation, internal drive and passion. I offer over 28 years of diverse experience in healthcare, strategy, sales/marketing, legal/policy and business savvy. I have many years building, leveraging, and sustaining long term relations to drive revenue as an entrepreneur and for corporations. My analytical strengths provide me with an innate ability to think through tough situations/topics while viewing both vantage points (which is excellent for law and life). I have been appointed to serve on numerous committees due to my heightened ability to identify client issues and priorities and provide solutions based upon relevant products, services and needs. I have led teams with and without authority; specifically, I have managed teams for an Adult Foster Care Facility called Etonne Cares, during my post-graduate fellowship with the largest Catholic Healthcare System in the U.S. and during my two-year executive order appointment with the Federal Government (Presidential Management Fellowship).

Daniel W.
In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.

Corporate Legal Questions and Answers

Connecticut
LLC and confidentiality clauses?
I recently started a small business and am looking to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC). I want to ensure that the confidentiality of the LLC and its members is protected, as it is a very competitive market. I am looking for advice on what clauses I should include in the LLC documents to ensure maximum confidentiality.
Thomas L.
You should include a separate non-disclosure agreement for each person.

Asset Purchase Agreement

How does an asset purchase agreement work with debt?
I am buying a business and want to use an asset purchase agreement based on what I've read, but I believe the company has debt. How does this work? Will I also be buying the debt? Any help is appreciated
John S.
It depends. If you want to use an asset purchase agreement to purchase just the assets of the company instead of the entire company, then an asset purchase agreement is the way to go as you could avoid taking on the company's existing debts. However, if you plan to buy the business as a whole I would expect you will inherit the debts as well unless you draft a release from the former owners.

Corporation Agreement
California
What are the steps and requirements for forming a corporation in my state?
I am a small business owner looking to expand and protect my personal assets by forming a corporation. I have heard that the process and requirements for corporate formation can vary by state, and I want to ensure that I understand the necessary steps and legal obligations involved in my particular state. I am specifically interested in the formation process, required documents, filing fees, and any ongoing compliance obligations that I need to be aware of. Can you provide guidance on this matter?
Randy M.
If you're planning to form a corporation in California in 2025, it's important to get every step right, from your initial filings to your long-term compliance obligations. The process itself is well-structured, but both federal and state-level rules have shifted in ways that make the details a bit more complex than they used to be. Let’s walk through what you need to know, one step at a time, based on the latest requirements and guidance. Getting Your Corporation Off the Ground Start by choosing a corporate name that meets the state’s legal requirements. That means it needs to include a word like “Corporation,” “Incorporated,” “Corp.,” or “Inc.” and it must be clearly different from any name already registered with the California Secretary of State. You can reserve a name for 60 days if you need time, but most business owners move straight to filing. Once you’ve confirmed your name, the next step is to file your Articles of Incorporation using Form ARTS-GS, which is the standard form for general stock corporations. The filing fee is $100, and you have the option to file online through the BizFile portal or submit it by mail. After your articles are filed, you have 90 days to submit your initial Statement of Information using Form SI-200. This form provides the state with key details about your corporation, including your business address, officers, directors, and your chosen registered agent. There's a $25 filing fee. Going forward, you'll need to file an updated version of this form annually (Form SI-550) within the six-month window around your incorporation anniversary. If you miss it, you could face penalties or even suspension of your business status. Internally, your corporation is required to adopt bylaws. You don’t file these with the state, but under California Corporations Code §212, you must have them on file at your principal office. Your bylaws should explain how your corporation will operate. That typically includes how meetings are conducted, officer roles, voting rights, and how stock is issued. At your first board meeting, you should formally adopt the bylaws, appoint officers, approve the issuance of shares, and establish a corporate records book. Keep organized copies of your board minutes, stock ledger, and bylaws. Even if you’re the only shareholder, this is a key step to preserve limited liability and maintain corporate formalities. You’ll also need to get an EIN from the IRS. It’s free and available online, and you’ll need it to open a business bank account, file taxes, and hire employees. Depending on what your business does and where it’s located, you may also need a seller’s permit from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, along with city or county business licenses. The CalGold website is a good place to find out what permits apply to your specific situation. Taxes and Ongoing Corporate Duties All California corporations have to pay an annual minimum franchise tax of $800, as outlined in Revenue and Taxation Code §23153. However, if your corporation is formed in 2021 or later, you're exempt from that tax in your first taxable year. That exemption doesn’t apply to LLCs, since the first-year waiver expired back in 2023 and hasn’t been renewed. There’s also something called the 15-day rule. If you form your corporation during the last 15 days of the calendar year and don’t do any business during that time, you might be able to avoid the franchise tax for that year altogether. This rule is found under Revenue and Taxation Code §23151.5 and only applies if your corporation uses a calendar fiscal year. If you're forming your entity late in the year, timing your filing could make a financial difference. On the compliance side, California corporations are required to hold annual meetings for both directors and shareholders. You also need to document those meetings with written minutes. This applies even if you’re the only person involved. A lot of solo founders skip this step, but that can become a serious issue during audits or lawsuits. If you don’t follow these basic corporate formalities, a court could decide to disregard your limited liability protections. Where Things Stand with Federal Beneficial Ownership Rules As of March 2025, domestic corporations are no longer subject to federal Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act. FinCEN issued an interim final rule on March 26 that revised the definition of “reporting company” to exclude entities formed in the U.S. or any U.S. state. Before that change, most newly formed corporations and LLCs were required to report their beneficial owners within either 30 or 90 days after formation. If you're forming a California corporation today, you do not need to file a BOI report under federal law. That said, keep an eye on this area, because rules can change quickly. There’s always a possibility that a future administration could reverse or revise the rule. Separately, California is considering its own version of a corporate transparency law. Senate Bill 1201 would require corporations and LLCs formed or registered in California to disclose beneficial ownership information to the Secretary of State. Some of that data could be made publicly available. As of now, the bill has passed the State Senate and is pending in the Assembly. If enacted, it would go into effect on January 1, 2026, so there’s currently no state-level BOI filing requirement in California. Optional Elections and Strategic Decisions If you’re thinking about electing S-corporation status, keep in mind that this is a federal tax election made by filing IRS Form 2553. It affects how your business is taxed but doesn’t change your legal structure under California law. S-corporations are pass-through entities, meaning profits and losses are reported on shareholders’ personal tax returns. This can help you avoid double taxation, but there are restrictions. You can’t have more than 100 shareholders, and only certain individuals and trusts qualify. You also can’t issue multiple classes of stock. S-corps can make a lot of sense for small business owners who want to minimize tax liability and don’t need venture capital. Just be sure to talk it through with a tax advisor to see if it fits your situation. Some business owners consider incorporating in states like Nevada or Delaware, thinking they’ll benefit from lower taxes or business-friendly laws. That approach only works if you're actually doing business in those states. If your operations, employees, or clients are based in California, you’ll still need to register as a foreign corporation in California and pay the franchise tax anyway. For most small or local businesses, the added paperwork and costs of out-of-state registration don’t offer much real advantage unless you're planning to scale nationally or raise funding. Most legal issues that trip up corporations down the line stem from skipped formalities or missed deadlines. With solid records, clear bylaws, and a calendar for required filings, you’ll be in good shape. If you need to draft internal documents or resolve formation questions, it’s worth getting those answers early rather than cleaning up mistakes later. The lawyers here on Contracts Counsel would be happy to help!

How to amend a stock option agreement?
I recently accepted a job offer from a company that provided me with a Stock Option Agreement. After a few months in my role, I have realized that some of the terms of the agreement are not suitable for my current needs. I would like to know how I can go about amending the agreement to better suit my current needs.

Shareholders Agreement
Kansas
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.
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.
