Meridian is not your typical law firm

so we don’t hire typical team members.

Read below to learn more

Some of the things that set Meridian apart from other firms include:

  • We offer competitive compensation and benefits;

  • We treat team members like professionals, not factory workers;

  • We are client-focused. As stated in The Meridian Pledge, we put our clients’ interests first and strive to handle their matters cost-effectively and efficiently;

  • Attorneys receive immediate client contact and litigation experience while working on a diverse caseload. This allows team members to obtain experience that it sometime takes attorneys at other firms years to obtain. Attorneys choose Meridian because they want to practice law, not because they want to carry a partner’s briefcase;

  • We use cutting-edge technology and tools to maximize productivity and better serve the needs of the firm’s clients; and

  • We take our clients’ matters seriously, not ourselves.

Meridian is always interested in speaking with strong talent at any level. If you are interested in joining Meridian, send a cover letter, resume, transcript, and writing sample to tom.shumate@meridian.law.

What employees Are Saying

“Having been a paralegal with Meridian for over two years, I found myself consistently impressed by how supportive and collaborative the culture is. While other law firms may fall into hierarchical tendencies and may exhibit a large divide between attorneys and support staff in particular, Meridian’s people are respectful, understanding and encouraging with new hires. Tom has cracked the code in bringing out the best in each team member, and it consistently shines through in Meridian’s work product.”
