Background
Experience and approach
Anne opened Merritt & Ibarra in 2011 with one desk and a rule she still follows: clients get a straight answer and a call back within one business day. Before that she spent four years on commercial cases at a large firm downtown, mostly for companies that could afford a team of lawyers.
Today she advises owners of restaurants, contractors, design studios and family businesses on the contracts they sign every week, and handles the disputes that come out of the ones they signed without reading. Outside the office she coaches her daughter’s soccer team, badly by her own account.
