Meghan's practice focuses on advising on, negotiating, and drafting a broad range of commercial contracts primarily in the food, beverage, restaurant/fast casual, CPG and agriculture space, including:

  • manufacturing/co-packing agreements
  • supply agreements
  • distribution agreements
  • nondisclosure agreements
  • warehouse/3PL, logistics and fulfilment agreements
  • license agreements
  • recipe development agreements
  • reseller agreements and related policies including MAP policies
  • service and consulting agreements

Meghan focuses on building agreements that align incentives, manage risk, and function in day‑to‑day operations, with careful attention to provisions related to capacity, forecasting, pricing adjustments, quality control, and exit rights. Her clients include companies at various stages of growth as well as established industry participants. Clients turn to her when a deal needs to be done right the first time.

Prior to attending law school, Meghan spent eight years as a consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers, where she built and managed databases to analyze data in white‑collar fraud, healthcare, and litigation matters. That background informs her practical, detail‑oriented approach to contract structuring and risk allocation.
