CM Law (formerly known as Culhane Meadows) was founded in 2013 through the collaboration of four attorneys who assembled a team of business-focused lawyers with a long history of working together at national law firms.
Guided by their core values and a shared vision for client-minded legal service, the founders created CM Law to provide practical legal counsel through a collaborative approach while reducing many of the overhead costs and inefficiencies commonly associated with traditional law firms.
Today, CM Law operates as a national law firm focused on delivering business-oriented legal services in a more flexible and efficient model for clients across a wide range of industries.
