He regularly assists clients as they buy and sell middle-market companies.
“Michael is an excellent lawyer and counselor to his clients with significant expertise in emerging growth, M&A and securities,” said John Gilluly, DLA Piper’s US chair of the Corporate practice. “He is a great addition to our growing West Coast practice and will be a tremendous resource for clients.”
