Our membership with Meritas provides business clients with worldwide access to sophisticated legal advice and exceptional service.

Since 1999, Meyer, Unkovic & Scott LLP has been a member of Meritas, the largest association of independent business and commercial law firms in the world. Meyer, Unkovic & Scott is the only Meritas firm that represents western Pennsylvania.  Our affiliation with Meritas offers us access to a network of accomplished law firms in every legal market within most states and in 60 foreign countries. Meritas gives Meyer, Unkovic & Scott a virtual "presence" in every major business center worldwide, without the costs associated with branch office operations.

Membership in Meritas is by invitation only and each of Meritas's 170 member firms is held accountable to rigorous membership requirements and service standards. In order to maintain their membership, firms must:

• Adhere to a specific set of service standards, such as responding to all client communications within 24 hours
• Demonstrate a record of consistent client satisfaction
• Comply with a stringent code of ethics that often exceeds local professional guidelines
• Provide clients with alternative dispute resolution options when appropriate
• Undergo a recertification process that requires the firm to be AV-rated in Martindale Hubbell, have a conflict avoidance procedure in place, maintain a full service practice mix, carry professional liability coverage, maintain a docket control system and meet continuing education requirements.

Unlike many other legal associations, Meritas upholds its rigorous standards, by replacing law firms who do not maintain its high standards. This provides clients who utilize Meritas member firms with the assurance that their legal needs will be addressed in a competent and consistent manner worldwide.
