Mary-Benham Nygren has been a paralegal for more than 30 years. She is a member of Nixon Peabody’s Private Clients and Immigration groups.
As a member of Nixon Peabody’s Private Clients group, my responsibilities include the administration of estates and trusts; the preparation and filing of estate tax returns; the collection, valuation, transfer and distribution of assets; the administration of trusts; and the calculations used in the estate administration and planning process.
As a member of Nixon Peabody’s Immigration team, I work with a wide range of clients from startups to large multinational corporations to successfully navigate the complexities involved with the securing of non-immigrant visa, permanent residence, labor certification and naturalization. I help design strategies to fit each client’s unique business needs while offering cost-effective solutions.
I continue to follow estate tax and immigration reform legislation in order to be prepared to help our clients identify opportunities and changes that affect their situation.
