MW's generalized services are offered at a much lower cost than the services of a larger full-service law firm due to its very low overhead. MW also has the flexibility to provide retainer-based and project billing and other alternatives to traditional hourly-based billing.

MW has extensive experience serving the special legal needs of entrepreneurs and emerging growth companies. MW regularly works with newer ventures in a variety of industries. MW partners with these companies to enable them to meet the legal challenges of growth: governance, financing, protecting intellectual property, human resources, leasing or buying facilities, building a corporate infrastructure, succession planning and reducing the risks of litigation. In certain specialized matters, MW may refer cases to legal specialists while managing the delivery of their services. MW also offers mediation and arbitration services to help resolve business disputes.
