Business Counsel

At MNB Meridian Law, our attorneys are small business experts not only as attorneys but as business owners themselves. Our experience has a breadth and depth that comes from making mistakes and creating successes as business owners and from holding positions as inhouse counsel, C-Suite executives, government contractors, senior executive-level and GS government employees, and serving on military active duty and in the reserves.

We know that having the right business structure, understanding the business and tax implications of that decision, and putting good business practices in place in the beginning makes operating your business everyday less stressful. MNB Meridian Law is here to be your partner, not just the lawyer you call when you encounter difficulties. Partnering with us ensures that you begin, continue, build, transfer, or end your business journey with sound guidance and advice.

We help you start with the right business structure. Then we assist with drafting your employee handbooks, employment contracts, client service agreements, and business policies and procedures and reviewing your contracts with your vendors, landlord, and creditors. We help you navigate commercial transactions, insurance, and tax issues. If necessary, we can prosecute a claim or defend against litigation that sometimes comes from doing business.

For small businesses owned by Veterans, we help you get through the service-disabled veteran-owned small business certification process, as well as help you take advantage of the numerous programs, set-aside programs, and Multiple Award Schedules, such as the GSA Schedule, OASIS, VETS, and VECTOR, among others.
