We’re proud to announce that our firm, formerly known as Meyer Wilson, is now Meyer Wilson Werning. This change reflects something those of us inside the firm and many of you already know: Courtney M. Werning is not only one of the most respected investor advocates in the country—she’s also been central to our identity, growth, and reputation for more than a decade.
By adding Courtney’s name to ours, we’re honoring her integrity, leadership, and relentless dedication to fighting for individual investors. This is more than a name change—it’s a recognition of who we are, what we stand for, and where we’re headed.
Why the Name Meyer Wilson Werning Matters
Courtney joined our team more than 14 years ago as a summer associate while still in law school. Since then, she has become a nationally recognized leader in securities arbitration and litigation. Her work is respected by regulators, arbitrators, and attorneys across the country—not just because of her skill, but because of how she treats clients: with respect, empathy, and fierce advocacy.
Here’s what this change means to us:
-
A reflection of leadership that drives our firm forward: Courtney leads by example, sets the highest standards, and brings out the best in our team.
-
Recognition of national stature: Her service on FINRA’s National Arbitration and Mediation Committee and the Board of Directors for PIABA (Public Investors Advocate Bar Association) highlights her standing in the field.
-
A commitment to the future: We are growing, and this change affirms our long-term commitment to doing what we’ve always done—standing up for individual investors against powerful financial institutions.
As David Meyer put it:
“Courtney’s name on the door reflects what everyone who works with her already knows—she’s one of the best in the country at what she does.”
And Matthew Wilson added:
“She’s earned this every step of the way—through her legal ability, her character, and the way she consistently delivers for our clients and our team.”

Our Mission Remains the Same
While our name has evolved, our mission hasn’t changed. We are still—and always will be—a law firm that represents individual investors and consumers. We do not represent financial firms or industry giants. We don’t play both sides. We focus on helping people who have been harmed by financial misconduct, as well as those involved in class actions and mass torts.
At Meyer Wilson Werning, we’ve:
-
Recovered more than $350 million for our clients across the country
-
Handled thousands of investor claims, both big and small
-
Represented clients in securities arbitration, litigation, and class actions
-
Maintained a focus on protecting the financial futures of individual investors
Our team approach remains central to how we work. Each case we take on is personal, and we bring the full strength of our legal experience and resources to every client who puts their trust in us.
Looking Ahead: Stronger Than Ever
This change is about more than honoring what Courtney has accomplished—it’s about who we are as a team. The name Meyer Wilson Werning represents everything we’ve built together: trust, integrity, and a fierce commitment to fighting for what’s right.
As Courtney shared:
“Having my name added to the firm is an incredible honor. I’m proud of the work we do and thankful to be part of a team that’s dedicated to standing up for individual investors and holding financial institutions accountable.”
That’s what we’ll continue to do—every day.
