What We Do 

At Meier Watkins, we provide legal counsel grounded in experience, discretion, and a trial-tested perspective. We guide clients through complex, high-stakes matters — safeguarding reputations and advancing their objectives. From our headquarters in Washington, D.C., we serve a global client roster of companies, institutions, and high-net-worth individuals. 

Meier Watkins and its founding partners earned top rankings for First Amendment Litigation in this year’s Chambers & Partners’ USA Guide. Chambers & Partners has also repeatedly recognized the firm for High Net Worth: Defamation & Reputation Management.

Our Approach

We guide clients through their most complex, high-stakes challenges, with a singular focus on protecting and defending their reputations and enterprise value. We are known for our exceptional results and the strategic creativity we bring to every engagement — from discreet advisory work to precedent-setting litigation.

Our success is grounded in an unwavering commitment to quality, integrity, and service. We take a holistic view of each client’s needs, understanding how legal issues — especially those impacting reputation and public perception — shape every facet of their operations and long-term goals. This perspective allows us to craft tailored, forward-thinking strategies aligned with each client’s objectives.

Meier Watkins offers the reach and sophistication of a global firm, combined with the agility and personal attention of a focused, collaborative team. At our core, we are trial lawyers dedicated to protecting what matters most: our clients’ reputations, businesses, and futures. We recruit exceptional talent and value creativity, sound judgment, and deep expertise across disciplines.

By bringing together lawyers with specialized experience and broad perspective — and empowering them to lead from the start — we deliver decisive results without unnecessary layers. Above all, we foster a supportive, collegial environment where every lawyer is driven to provide the highest caliber of counsel, helping our clients succeed and maintain their standing at the highest levels.
