From first incorporation to your next term sheet, The Meridian Law Group helps founders, startups, and technology companies put the right legal foundation in place — formation, governance, agreements, and IP — so you can move at the pace your business needs to.
Choosing the right structure — and getting the founder and governance documents right — protects you long after incorporation.
The entity and ownership structure you choose at formation affects your taxes, your liability, and how easily you can bring on co-founders, employees, or investors later. We help founders choose and form the right structure from day one, then keep governance clean as the company grows.
The agreements that let a technology company actually operate — with customers, vendors, and partners.
We draft and review the commercial contracts that keep a growing company running: clear terms, enforceable language, and protections tailored to how technology businesses actually operate — not generic templates.
Making sure the ideas and assets that make your company valuable are actually owned by your company.
For a technology company, IP is often the most valuable asset on the balance sheet — and one of the most commonly mishandled. We make sure ownership is clean, confidentiality is protected, and the paperwork holds up under diligence.
Getting the company's legal house in order before it matters most — a partnership, a raise, or a transaction.
Strategic partners and investors will look closely at how a company is structured and documented. We help founders get organized ahead of time, so diligence is a formality instead of a scramble.
A legal partner who already knows your business, without the overhead of in-house counsel.
As a company grows, legal questions come up faster than one-off engagements can cover. We offer ongoing outside general counsel for founders who want a legal partner already familiar with their business — reviewing new agreements, advising on decisions, and coordinating with specialized counsel when needed.
When a dispute can't be resolved at the table, you deserve a clear path forward — from an advocate who already understands your business.
Most disputes are resolved through negotiation, not a courtroom — but when litigation becomes necessary, you need counsel who already knows your contracts, your cap table, and your business, not someone starting from zero. We represent founders and technology companies in commercial disputes, and coordinate with trial counsel when a matter requires it.
The firm has recovered $1M+ for clients through contract-breach negotiations and dispute resolution.
Business succession — who inherits ownership, who runs the company, and how it transfers at death or incapacity — sits right at the intersection of business law and estate planning. That's covered in depth on the Estate Planning page.
