Our attorneys continue to be trusted business advisors to our clients as they look to grow through the addition of new locations, franchising, licensing of intellectual property, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or IPOs. We also take a proactive approach to business succession planning so that our clients are positioned to achieve their personal and business goals when transferring ownership and control of the company.

Our attorneys serve as outside counsel to clients offering a full spectrum of legal services, including business formation and restructuring, debt and equity financing, and tax advice and planning. We also provide strategic counsel for complex business transactions, technology transactions, privacy and data protection. In addition, our attorneys draft commercial agreements and buy-sell agreements and plans, as well as provide assistance pertaining to commercial lending and credit facilities.

At Meyers Roman, we provide creative and effective solutions by combining the legal and business experiences of our attorneys across related practice areas representing clients in a wide range of industries.
