About
Sheila Merchant Legal is a boutique law firm focusing on real estate and business law. I’m a graduate of Columbia Law School with 10 years of experience with corporate formation and structuring, contract drafting, real estate, for sale by owner (FSBO) real estate transactions, business purchases and sales, lease negotiation and restructuring, M&A, trademark filings, and corporate law matters. I advise clients of all types and sizes including residential/commercial property owners and sellers, LLC's, C Corps, S Corps, B Corps, startups, franchises, small businesses, medium-large businesses, and social purpose corporations. My clients love how I keep things simple, educate them on their options, and help them navigate challenges with a conscious and collaborative mindset. Prior to founding my firm, I worked at two of the nation’s top law firms on large scale deals, including billion-dollar wind and solar projects. My first 15 minute phone consultation with any prospective client is always free of charge. Contact me today to schedule your consult.

We did not work on a project but I really appreciated her quick response and free advice to me. Rare to find someone like her these days.

First and foremost, you will not find a better or more professional and intelligent Lawyer anywere. Shelia was always comforting, and yet honest through the whole time we spent with her. She knew exactly what to do, how to do it, and even how to council us on our role in the situation. As for communication and being able to get a hold of her and her willingness to call back immediately or as quick as possible was amazing! The bottom line is if you need top notch, class act, from head to toe service then you’re wasting your time if you don’t go with Shelia. Thank you again.

Sheila provided clear instructions and was highly accommodating, effectively working within my constraints despite a tight timeframe. I would gladly collaborate with her again.
