Personalized legal counsel invested in your business success
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Choosing the Right Partner
Regardless of where your business is in its journey, many law firms are just interested in riding along, indifferent about your destination, as long as your progress results in more billable hours.
At Meridien Law, we have a different philosophy.
1. Ride or Die. Sometimes our startup clients have cash flow issues, or sometimes a small business is at a crossroads or crisis and needs more than just financial assistance. We are uniquely positioned to help with expertise and compassion. When you become our client, we see it through. Your business can be both your dream and your livelihood, and entrusting us with your pride of ownership deserves loyalty and extraordinary effort.
2. Holistic Legal Advice. Our principals have broad and deep legal experience and are business owners and community leaders as well . While many lawyers will tell you that the answer to any question is, “It depends,” what they may not tell you is that your best solution goes beyond expedient legal options. We take the time to understand our clients and provide informed choices so that the lines and risks are known and you can be truly courageous.
3. Present Value. Every dollar counts, especially when you expect your investments to compound. We strive for affordability, frugality, and flexibility, but we especially want to ensure that our services are force multipliers. As your business grows, we are confident that the worth of our relationship will become increasingly invaluable. Getting a return on your business should also mean getting a return on your legal strategy.
