San Diego's Business Attorneys

Our business lawyers take a unique approach to providing the legal support our clients require through a comprehensive means where solutions, not billable hours, are effectively reached. Our experienced team works with aspiring entrepreneurs, small business owners, corporate executives, and in-house corporate counsel throughout the entire business lifecycle, from entity formation through growth and into an exit or transition.

From structuring new business partnerships to advising on private securities offerings and complex commercial disputes, our business lawyers collectively function to protect, enforce and defend our client's personal and business interests.

Michael has been with the Firm since 2013 where he has managed the overall operations through the Firm’s growth and expansion. He finds himself involved with both the transactional and dispute sides of the Firm’s practice areas as a natural “go-to” for anything outside the direct legal scope of the Client’s matter. Usually with at least two spreadsheets open, more than a handful of Chrome tabs, and a constant desire to get involved with a Client’s business structure and financials, Michael is the Firm’s in-house MBA.

When not working directly with the Firm’s business transactions and litigation teams, Michael manages the Firm’s operations and systems. With a business operations degree and a Masters in New Venture Management from USD, Michael supports both the Firm’s transactions and litigation teams on many financial and operational business considerations. As a client you’ll come across Michael assisting the filing team, working with Clients on settlement funds flow and billing, and as an internal analyst digging through accounting records.
