Lawyer Profile

Melanie is the founder of Melanie Cunningham Law Office P.C., where she helps small business owners gain a peace of mind about the operation of their business. Melanie returned to the law after a 10+ compliance career with large global financial institutions because she had a passion and knack for making legal principals user-friendly for everyday people (especially those without a family history of entrepreneurship) striking out on their own.

On social media (@launchtolegacy), Melanie shares useful legal tips about trademarks, copyrights, and contracts to educate and empower entrepreneurs and small business owners, and covers business and intellectual property cases that arise from current events and pop culture because she believes they can provide both cautionary tales, and strategic ideas, for small business owners. Melanie is committed to making legal principles accessible and uncomplicated because she believes freelancers, entrepreneurs, and micro-and small business owners deserve excellent legal support and protection as they play a critical role in our communities. She is a graduate of Emory University School of Law and is licensed to practice in NY.
