- Massey Bean & Lewis
Practical Counsel.
Powerful Outcomes.
A law firm built differently—on purpose.
Massey Bean & Lewis was founded by attorneys who had worked at the largest firms in the country—and decided there was a better way. We built MBL around a simple conviction: clients deserve counsel that is both deeply experienced and genuinely invested in their success.
We’ve helped clients secure and defend intellectual property for some of the world’s leading brands. We’ve guided companies from first term sheet through nine-figure exits. We’ve gone to trial—and won—when it mattered most. And through all of it, we have never confused legal activity with legal results.
What sets us apart isn’t the size of our firm. It’s the size of our commitment to every client we take on.
- Why MBL
Partnership isn’t a promise. It’s how we practice.
We give you advice you can act on. That means speaking plainly, identifying the options that actually make sense for your situation, and helping you weigh them—not just documenting the law and sending an invoice.
Many of our attorneys serve as outside general counsel to their clients—embedded advisors who know your business well enough to anticipate problems before they arrive. Whether you need a trusted sounding board or an aggressive courtroom advocate, we’re built to be both.
We measure ourselves by results. Our attorneys have secured verdicts, dismissed claims, closed transactions, and protected IP that represents billions of dollars in value for our clients. We don’t just work hard. We work toward a defined outcome—and we don’t stop until we get there.

Corporate & Venture Capital
Our Corporate Team brings decades of experience advising founders, management teams, and investors through every stage of a company’s life—from formation and early fundraising through growth, M&A, and exit. We’ve represented hundreds of companies and funds in venture capital, private equity, debt financing, securities compliance, and strategic transactions. We don’t just document what you’ve decided. We help you decide well.
Intellectual Property
Your ideas are your competitive advantage. Protecting them requires attorneys who understand not just the law, but the technology and the business behind it. Our IP Team—which includes registered patent attorneys with engineering and scientific backgrounds—helps clients secure patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and defends them when others try to take what’s yours. We’ve represented inventors, startups, and global enterprises alike, and we bring the same rigor and commitment to every matter.
Litigation Services
When a dispute becomes unavoidable, you need a team that knows how to win—and knows when winning means negotiating resolution on the right terms. Our litigators have tried dozens of cases in state and federal courts, argued before multiple circuit courts of appeal, and handled the full spectrum of commercial disputes: business and co-founder disputes, trade secrets, defamation, white-collar defense, securities enforcement, real property, and more. We bring a strategy-first approach to every matter, because the best trial lawyers are also the ones most focused on making trial unnecessary.
