Parker Key Law LLC

About Parker Key Law LLC

Parker Key Law LLC is an intellectual property and business law firm based in Newton, Massachusetts, serving innovative businesses, organizations, and individuals. The practice, formerly known as Parker Keough LLP, operates from 343 Washington St., Suite 200 and can be reached at (617) 841-2418. Attorneys named in the firm’s materials include Ken Parker, Shaun Keough, Nathaniel Lichtin, and Larry Zale.

The service list is unusually broad for a boutique. On the intellectual property side, the firm covers trademark registration and litigation, patent applications, copyright registration and litigation, trade secret protection, intellectual property licensing and strategy, and domain name dispute resolution. Its business practice adds incorporation, employment contracts, negotiating and drafting partnership agreements, business litigation, appellate advocacy, outside in-house counsel, cybersecurity and data privacy compliance, and land use and zoning permitting assistance. That combination suits founders and small companies that need IP protection and day-to-day commercial counsel from one office rather than splitting work across multiple firms.

Client feedback clusters around a few consistent strengths. Trademark work draws repeated mention: one reviewer describes obtaining two trademarks for a business, while another credits the firm with resolving a difficult trademark problem quickly and efficiently. Employment matters are another recurring theme, including NDAs, non-compete and non-solicit agreements, renegotiation of those documents, and transitions out of roles. Reviewers also describe the attorneys as responsive, patient, and willing to explain unfamiliar processes to clients handling intellectual property for the first time, and several note fair billing relative to the value received. Litigation capability is referenced directly, with one reviewer calling the team professional, detailed, and creative litigators. Referrals to other businesses and repeat use over multiple years appear in the feedback as well.

Prospective clients should weigh a few practical points. The firm’s own materials have listed two different Newton addresses, 343 Washington St., Suite 200 and 51 Winchester St., Suite 205, so confirming the current office before visiting is worthwhile. Overall, the firm reads as a relationship-oriented practice built around long-term counsel rather than high-volume, one-off transactions.

Parker Key publishes two Newton addresses; confirm the appointment location before visiting. Trademark clients describe patient guidance on new registrations and existing filing difficulties rather than recurring communication complaints.
