Client Reviews
"Mike was instrumental in helping us negotiate and close the disposition of our company through an asset sale. He then guided us through the liquidation process so that the proceeds of the sale are protected against future claims. We look forward to working with him on other projects in the future."
"Mike helped us choose and form an entity for our new business venture, create a sensible governance structure, negotiate arrangements with key suppliers and service providers, and otherwise put us in a position, from a legal perspective, successfully and efficiently to grow. We intend to continue to look to him for legal advice for years to come as our company evolves and faces new legal challenges."
