About the Firm
Three 
decades 
of 
trusted 
counsel. 

Founded in 1987, Meridian Law Group has grown from a boutique Manhattan practice into a globally respected firm with offices across three continents and a reputation built on results, integrity, and discretion.

Our Story

Built on a single
principle.

When Catherine Mercer and Robert Voss founded Meridian in 1987, they had a simple belief: that exceptional legal work, delivered with honesty and care, would build a practice worthy of its clients' trust.

That belief has guided every decision Meridian has made — every attorney we have hired, every client we have accepted, every case we have argued. It is not a marketing statement. It is how we practice law.

Today, Meridian employs 45 attorneys across three continents. We have handled transactions worth billions and fought for clients with nothing more at stake than their families and their futures. Both matter equally to us.

“The measure of a great firm is not the cases it wins, but the trust it earns and keeps.”

— CATHERINE MERCER, MANAGING PARTNER
Our Values

What we stand for.

Precision

Every detail matters. We approach each matter with meticulous care, because in law, the fine print can define the outcome.

Integrity

We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Honest counsel is the foundation of lasting trust.

Excellence

We hold ourselves to the highest professional standards — in our work product, our conduct, and our client relationships.

Discretion

Our clients trust us with sensitive matters. That trust is sacred, and we protect it absolutely.
