meet sb., meet with sb.

What is the difference between them (meet sb., meet with sb.)?

I've read this today: "to meet with a client". Why was "with" used? Is it necessary here?

Hi

"Meet" is a transitive verb.

The correct phrase is : meet a client

To meet with someone in American English has slightly a different meaning from to meet someone
If you meet with someone,you go to the same place as them, after a mutual arrangment, so as to talk ....
