Yamary I. González-Berríos

Expert guidance through a complex business transition

When our family-owned manufacturing company in Seattle was facing a multi-faceted transition involving the sale of assets, employee severance packages, and significant tax implications, we were referred to Yamary González-Berríos at McConnell Valdés. From our initial consultation, it was clear we were in capable hands. Yamary’s general practice expertise was exactly what we needed for a situation that didn't fit neatly into a single legal box. She meticulously navigated the interplay between the corporate, employment, and tax aspects of our deal. Her deep understanding of employee benefits law was crucial in structuring fair and compliant separation agreements, while her knowledge of tax law ensured we avoided several costly pitfalls during the asset transfer. Over a six-month process, her professionalism was unwavering—she was always prepared, explained complex legal concepts in clear terms, and was a steadfast advocate. The recognition she has received in her fields is well-deserved and was evident in every strategy session. Thanks to Yamary’s comprehensive approach and six years of sharp experience, we achieved a clean, efficient outcome that protected both the business legacy and our employees. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone needing astute legal counsel on interconnected business matters.
