María Jesús Parra

Expert guidance through a complex business and tax matter

I was referred to María Jesús Parra at Crowe Legal y Tributario B&M after acquiring a small business in Austin. The transaction was fraught with unforeseen complications, including ambiguous contractual terms from the previous owner and significant, unresolved tax liabilities that threatened the viability of the entire purchase. From our first consultation, María Jesús demonstrated a command of both the transactional and tax implications that was immediately reassuring. Her decade of experience was evident in how she systematically dissected the problem, explaining my options with clarity and without unnecessary legal jargon. She seamlessly navigated between the general practice aspects of contract review and her recognized expertise in tax law, which was absolutely critical. María Jesús and her team conducted a thorough due diligence process, identified several key leverage points, and negotiated a settlement with the prior owner that not only reduced the purchase price to offset the liabilities but also structured the payment in a tax-advantageous manner for my new entity. Throughout the six-month process, her professionalism was unwavering—she was consistently responsive, prepared, and strategic. The outcome preserved my investment and set the business on solid legal and financial footing from day one. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone in the Austin area facing multifaceted legal challenges that require a broad yet deeply specialized approach.
