Meredith Bauer

Meredith founded EntrePartner in 2011 after recognizing that her entrepreneurial and corporate clients all needed the same thing: practical, actionable legal advice without the overhead of a big firm. That idea still drives the firm today, transparent pricing, real-world counsel, and attorneys who understand what it takes to run a business.

During her time at the firm, Meredith has twice stepped into in-house executive roles to guide clients through critical growth phases. As General Counsel of Anytime Fitness, she helped the company grow to over 3,000 franchised locations in the U.S. and internationally and oversaw the acquisition and launch of its sister brand, Waxing the City. She also served on the company’s executive committee, contributing to business and fiscal strategy. As Chief Legal and Business Officer for Steele Brands, she played a leadership role in growing the Crisp & Green system and launching the PURALIMA concept.

That in-house experience shapes how Meredith approaches every client engagement. She focuses on strategic, practical advice and risk mitigation, actively representing start-up, growing, and experienced franchise companies across the country.
