Mariel Joan Giletto

Mariel J. Giletto is a shareholder in Flaster Greenberg’s Business & Corporate Department and chair of its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. Acting as outside counsel and trusted advisor for her clients for more than 15 years, Ms. Giletto works alongside business owners and their C-level managers to develop efficient processes to protect, prevent, and solve the challenges many businesses encounter. Mariel has counseled a range of business from small, local businesses to large, publicly traded companies and start-up businesses.

Mariel represents and advises companies through all aspects of the business life cycle, beginning with business formation, growth and investment strategy including financing and real estate transactions, corporate governance and compliance, to the wind-down and dissolution processes. She has a track record of successful outcomes for her business clients who operate in an array of industries from manufacturing, life sciences and banking to academia and gaming.

Mariel’s innate understanding of the day-to-day realities and pressures her business clients face stems from her upbringing in a multi-generational family of entrepreneurs. As a result, she understands that the success of an organization depends on its ability to plan for the future. She combines this life experience with her legal skillset to creatively construct practical solutions to complex legal challenges tailored to suit the client’s goals. She offers insights into transactions, develops effective approaches to negotiations, formulates the most productive strategies and uses all resources at her disposal to protect and defend the interests of her clients. Mariel consults with clients to plan ahead of potential problems to avoid the hassle of “cleaning up” after it is too late. Additionally, Mariel is counsel to a growing number of women-owned businesses, and is increasingly representing female business owners taking control of the family business after a traditional patriarchal ownership transitions to the younger generation.

Mariel has received her certification through the Blockchain Council as a Certified Blockchain and Law Professional.
