also known as Melanie Cunningham
Melanie Cunningham’s business, intellectual property, and estate planning practice focuses on helping small business owners have a peace of mind about the operation of their business today and plan for their futures. Melanie returned to private practice after more than a decade working for global financial institutions because she had a passion and knack for making legal principals user-friendly for everyday people (especially those, like herself, without a family history of entrepreneurship) striking out on their own. Her approach to helping entrepreneurs obtain this peace of mind entails establishing the foundation of their business, protecting their brand and assets, and safeguarding their legacy. Melanie’s belief that entrepreneurs and micro-and small business owners play a critical role in our communities, propelled her to start a firm that delivers excellent legal support and protection to this vital and well-deserved audience. She excels in making the law accessible, uncomplicated, and stress-free, for busy, and often overwhelmed, small business owners.
