Christopher Nuneviller_FedBarChristopher Nuneviller | MNB Meridian Law

Founding partner of MNB Meridian Law, Ltd. and the managing partner for the firm’s Philadelphia office. Christopher focuses his practice on small and mid sized business owners, investors and shareholders, and their success through smart formation, organization, governance, routine and special operations, and growth toward IPO. As a small business owner in several ventures himself, Christopher understands the pressure to succeed and be profitable, while staying level headed for his clients, employees, family, and business partners.

As a Veteran, Christopher also assists currently serving members of the Uniformed Services as they challenge the adverse administrative punishments military commanders use to “save” their commands and their careers, such as: administrative, criminal, and inspector general investigations, bad evaluations, positive urinalysis, non-judicial punishment, removal of special designations and positions, reprimands, removal from positions, loss of security clearances, titling, and administrative separation boards.

Christopher’s background includes practicing securities, venture capital, emerging business, military, and government regulatory law. He served as inhouse and general counsel, a contractor to the federal government, a federal government senior level executive, and a C-Suite executive. He is also a former U.S. Army Judge Advocate, having served seven years in Washington, D.C., where he gained significant experience with above-the fold matters of great import and an unhealthy insight into the internal workings of the beltway underbelly.
