About
I have been practicing commercial and corporate law for over 20 years - first, with two of the nation's leading firms, then in financial services, and in my own practice. Today, I focus primarily on three representing private investment funds and individual investors, helping start-ups and emerging companies organize and raise capital, and providing legal counseling to new and established businesses. For instance, we often LLC agreements, shareholder agreements, notes, pledges, security agreements, incorporation documents, subscription and private placement documents, confidentiality agreements, engagement letters, employment agreements, IT… read more licenses and subscriptions.

"We had a little misunderstanding about the time needed to complete the job, next time I will make sure to clarify that from the beginning but Michael was responsive and accommodating and got back to me quicker than he had originally said he would which I appreciated."
