What We Do

Practice Areas

We bring focused expertise across five interconnected disciplines, allowing us to handle complex matters that span legal domains and international borders.

Business Law

From entity formation and governance to mergers and acquisitions, we counsel businesses at every stage of their lifecycle — with practical guidance that keeps transactions on track.

International Law

Our cross-border experience spans U.S., Canadian, and European legal frameworks. We guide clients through treaties, trade disputes, foreign investment structures, and jurisdictional complexity.

Corporate Litigation

When disputes arise, we advocate with strategic clarity. Our litigation team handles shareholder actions, breach of fiduciary duty, and commercial disputes in federal and state courts.

Contract Law

Precision drafting, thorough negotiation, and proactive dispute prevention. We craft agreements that protect your interests and stand up in court — across industries and legal systems.

Criminal Law

We represent executives, corporations, and individuals facing criminal prosecution — including white-collar crime, regulatory violations, and corporate criminal liability — with tenacious, experienced defense.

Tailored Counsel

Your matter rarely fits a single category. Our partners collaborate across disciplines to deliver integrated strategy — not siloed advice.

Why Hirsch Meisel

The Standard
We Keep

We are a firm of partners, not a factory of associates. Every matter receives senior-level attention from the first call to the final resolution.

I
Partner-Led Representation

Your file is managed by a named partner. Not delegated to a first-year associate two weeks into the job.

II
Cross-Border Fluency

We navigate U.S., Canadian, and European frameworks without losing precision at the jurisdictional seams — where most firms stumble.

III
Integrated Disciplines

Complex matters rarely fit one box. Our partners confer across practice areas to close gaps before they become liabilities.

IV
Delaware Incorporated

Based in the corporate capital of the world. We know Delaware law and the Court of Chancery better than almost anyone.
