More About Michael
From my early years as a kid playing hockey, I’ve always felt a strong connection to being on a team and working with others to achieve a common goal. As a lawyer, my corporate and securities practice has allowed me to be part of various teams, working with colleagues and clients on a wide range of domestic, cross-border and international transactions, across various industries. It’s a privilege to act as a trusted advisor to boards of directors, C-suite management and owner-operators, and to provide strategic legal guidance. When leading and managing teams, I strive to foster a collaborative and high-performing work environment to ensure the team’s success and add value for our clients.
I’m committed to providing proactive, responsive and pragmatic advice to my clients, with the ability to align legal strategies with overall business goals.
