The Business & Corporate Law Attorneys at Meyers Roman Offer Full Spectrum Legal Services for Businesses of All Types

Our Business & Corporate attorneys provide a full spectrum of legal services for businesses ranging from start-ups to family and closely held businesses to private equity funds and multi-million dollar companies doing business on national and international scales. By providing superior client service and applying a holistic approach to each client’s situation, we deliver strategically tailored solutions to help them achieve their individual business objectives.

Each stage of a business’ life cycle has a unique set of business and legal challenges. Our attorneys draw on their diverse experience and the firm’s multidisciplinary approach to provide sophisticated, yet pragmatic counsel in a cost-effective manner for each of these stages. We work with clients on creative entity structuring and seed funding for start-up businesses, and we assist with post-angel funding for businesses looking towards the next stage of growth.

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. Several have owned their own companies or served as in-house counsel for closely held businesses and Fortune 500 companies. In addition, our firm has a rich history of civic and community involvement, including seats on planning and zoning commissions, non-profit boards and professional advisory councils.
