I am a corporate and securities attorney with over 45 years of experience. My areas of focus include mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and private securities offerings. I also counsel clients, including start-ups and emerging growth companies, in corporate governance and general corporate matters.
The value I deliver to my clients stems from my many years of experience working directly with business owners to accomplish their goals. I view each transaction from my client’s perspective so I am able to find a solution in a cost-effective and timely manner while anticipating his or her needs. I pride myself on listening to, and spending time with, my clients. Rather than focusing only on the legal issues, I examine the business, personal and legal factors enabling me to propose and achieve reasonable resolutions for all parties so neither side feels like they’ve lost.
No matter the situation or circumstance, my clients know that I am here to anticipate their needs, listen to their goals, and work together to get all parties to “yes.”
Client testimonial:
“Michael represented my privately held software company in an M&A transaction with a large PE firm. Although the acquiring company had a virtual army of attorneys representing its interests, Michael and his supporting team at Buckingham more than held their own. Michael pushed back when necessary and negotiated deftly where appropriate. I felt confident throughout the entire process because I could trust in Michael’s counsel and his attention to detail. Michael was not just an effective advocate; he was instrumental in crafting the successful outcome.” – Ned Greenberg, President, DataNet Quality Systems
