Client Reviews
"We are a software development company and we needed a new software license agreement for a new product. We already had a decent existing software license agreement, but wanted something better as we roll out a new product that is a bit risky. Meredith drafted a new software license agreement that was a definite improvement over our last version. She understood our concerns and explained things in basic terms (not legalese) so we could understand her. Meredith was responsive, kept to our timeline, and is just super fun to work with. We will definitely use Meredith as we further grow our business."
