Langrock Sperry & Wool is proud to be the only Vermont member of Meritas (formerly Commercial
Law Affiliates), a global network of independent, mid-sized, business and commercial law firms
committed to the same exceptional standards of quality and service that we are. In an
increasingly global marketplace, Meritas allows us to provide our clients with a depth and
range of experience that is national and international in scope.
Quality Assurance
Before inviting a law firm to join its network, Meritas carefully evaluates
the quality of its practice and lawyers, its commitment to excellence in client service, and
its reputation as a top-notch firm. Then, each Meritas member is required to comply with
stringent quality standards, and is subject to periodic quality monitoring. Moreover, for
each referral of work to a Meritas member, a follow-up evaluation is done, to ensure that
the work was handled properly, efficiently, and to the client’s satisfaction. The high
quality of its members, and its emphasis on accountability, has earned Meritas an esteemed
reputation in the legal and business communities.
Global Reach
Meritas is the world’s largest legal network, consisting of more than 190
law firms with over 5,000 attorneys, and covering all fifty states and more than seventy
countries on six continents. This global reach allows us, and our clients, immediate access
to quality legal representation throughout the United States and the world, including all
major business centers.
Local Roots
Each Meritas firm is, like us, locally-based with strong roots in the community.
There is simply no substitute for the knowledge and experience of a qualified local lawyer,
who is familiar with the intricacies of local law, business practices, and social customs.
Client Service
Meritas firms are committed to prompt, efficient, and cost-effective solutions.
If we have a question about the laws of a particular state or country, we can call our Meritas
affiliate and quickly get an answer from an experienced lawyer; for such consultations, there
is no cost at all to our clients. When more extensive work is necessary in another state or
country, we involve our Meritas affiliate if it is in the client’s best interest to have a
local lawyer, but we receive no fee for that referral. Meritas firms work as a team to
provide exceptional client service.
Substantial Advantage
Our membership in Meritas allows us to provide our clients with
a substantial advantage over other Vermont law firms — immediate access to sophisticated
legal advice in all of the places where they do business, throughout the country and around
the world.
