Strategic Legal Guidance for Business Compliance

Compliance is more than a legal requirement—it's critical to a business's success. Compliance law encompasses the rules, standards, and regulations that businesses must follow to avoid legal penalties and safeguard their operations. Proper compliance management minimizes risk, enhances business credibility, and supports sustainable growth.

Businesses expect increased compliance budgets due to evolving regulations. Staying compliant isn't just about avoiding fines; it's about proactively positioning your business to thrive amid changing laws and regulations.

At BT Attorneys, Gil Melman and his team specialize in business and transactional compliance services designed to protect your business interests while ensuring operational continuity.

What Our Clients Say

5/5
Sean

CEO / CO-FOUNDER

“Gil Melman has served as our outside council for several years.  Gil has provided outstanding legal guidance and support for a broad range of our needs.  Gil has drafted legal contracts that positioned us favorably with our suppliers, customers, and investors.  He has played an active role with various negotiations.  Gil has also taken the time to have direct contact with opposing legal council for a faster resolution to issues, which have save time and money for both parties.  Gil has also assembled supporting legal resources when required.  Gil has supported the company during multiple fundraising rounds that were often time sensitive.

Gil can be a bulldog when it comes to protecting our position.  However, he is pragmatic with regard to business relationships and needs.  I have led multi-billion dollar businesses at large corporations and I can honestly say that Gil has provided us the best legal representation in my career.  It has been my experience that most corporate lawyers see things in black and white.  Gil advises on the black and white will also educating me on the aspects and mitigation strategy for the gray areas as well.  This is extremely valuable because things usually end up in these gray areas, and I am better prepared.”
