Responsive, client-focused corporate and commercial transactional attorney. As a director in and Vice Chair of Downs Rachlin Martin's Business Law Group, Mary Parent works with a wide variety of local and national businesses to advise them with respect to corporate, commercial, and transactional matters. When Mary engages with a client, she does so at the strategic level, collaborating with clients to propose solutions that benefit their businesses. Mary's clients describe her as responsive to their needs and goals, and appreciate how she documents their transactions in a reasonable manner, using plain English documents, without "over-lawyering." She has experience with a broad range of transactions from financing, intellectual property, venture capital, mergers and acquisitions to succession planning and assisting non-profit corporations with obtaining 501(c)(3) status.
