Michael is a trusted fund formation attorney with extensive experience representing both investment managers (GPs) and passive investors (LPs). While he currently focuses exclusively on investment vehicles and securities laws, he has a broad background in M&A, capital markets, public company representation, corporate matters, and fund formation.

With experience at elite law firms such as Latham & Watkins and DLA Piper after graduating at the top of his class at Columbia Law School, Michael understands the importance of professionalism, responsiveness, and precision. He has helped clients raise billions of dollars across real estate, venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, and more.

He also enjoys being an actual human, so don’t be alarmed if he attempts bad (good?) humor throughout the fund formation process. Fund formation should be fun!

He lives in the mountains outside of Seattle with his wife and son.
