Published: March 30, 2026
Weintraub Tobin is pleased to announce that its San Francisco office has joined Meritas, a global alliance of independent business law firms. Having served as the Meritas member firm in Sacramento since 1994, Weintraub is excited to expand its Meritas involvement through its San Francisco location. The Meritas affiliation offers Weintraub access to more than 8,400 lawyers in 90 countries and 245 markets worldwide.
“Companies in our market are increasingly doing business across markets and borders; seamless legal representation on a global scale is vital,” said Paul Gaspari, Shareholder and founding member of Weintraub Tobin’s San Francisco office. “Through Meritas, we can offer our clients the same quality of representation they have come to expect from Weintraub in all major markets around the world. Meritas offers us peace of mind that our clients’ legal needs will be met with the same commitment to quality, professionalism, and value on which we pride ourselves.
Meritas is the only law firm alliance with an established and comprehensive means of monitoring and enhancing the quality of its member firms. Meritas membership is extended by invitation only, and firms are regularly assessed for the breadth of their practice expertise and client satisfaction. Only firms performing under the tenets of Meritas’ unique quality assurance program are recertified as members. This ensures that clients receive the same high-quality legal work and service from every Meritas firm.
“Law firms join Meritas to help their clients increase efficiencies when navigating cross-regional opportunities and challenges,” said Sona Pancholy, president of Meritas. “In-house counsel at companies that are growing are under increased pressure to find trusted resources in specific markets that are cost-effective and right-sized, with access to knowledge on their specific issues.”
