Merrick & Vance advises boards, founders, and investors through the mergers, acquisitions, and capital decisions that define the arc of an enterprise, with the discretion of a partner and the precision of a craftsman.

Six disciplines, one standard. We structure, negotiate, and close the transactions that move our clients forward.

A practice built on judgment, not volume.

Founded in 1921, Merrick & Vance has advised on some of the most consequential transactions of the past century. We keep our partnership deliberately small, so that the lawyer who earns your trust is the lawyer who does your work.

Our clients return to us across decades and deal cycles, for counsel that is candid, commercially fluent, and unhurried by the meter.

A small bench of senior practitioners. No associates learning on your matter, only the people whose names are on the door.

Begin a conversation.

Tell us about the decision in front of you. A partner will respond within one business day, in confidence, and without obligation.
