Empowering Austin’s Entrepreneurs
Melancon Legal PLLC is a modern law firm designed specifically for the needs of small businesses and startups. Founded by Matthew ‘Matt’ Melancon, an attorney with a background in engineering and entrepreneurship, the firm operates as a ‘one-stop shop’ for business owners who need sophisticated legal advice without the overhead of a large corporate firm.

Matt’s passion lies in meticulous problem-solving and finding pragmatic solutions that allow businesses to grow sustainably.
Fractional General Counsel Services
The firm specializes in acting as Fractional General Counsel for companies that are too small to hire a full-time in-house lawyer but too large to ignore legal risks. This model allows businesses to have a dedicated attorney on their team for a flat monthly fee or predictable rate, covering everything from day-to-day contract reviews to employment issues.
- Business Formation: Advising on the best entity structure (LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp) for tax efficiency and liability protection.
- Contract Law: Drafting and negotiating Master Service Agreements (MSAs), SaaS agreements, and vendor contracts that protect the bottom line.
- Intellectual Property: Securing trademarks and copyrights to protect brand identity and creative assets from infringement.
- Construction Law: Representing contractors and property owners in disputes, mechanic’s liens, and project negotiation.
- Real Estate: Assisting with commercial lease negotiations and property acquisitions.

Clients appreciate Matt’s ability to explain complex legal concepts in plain English and his commitment to being responsive.
