We needed a versatile general counsel familiar with the technology space to help us structure agreements and manage risk across our operations, and Mike stepped into that role effectively: he understands the intricacies of our business and helps us avoid unnecessary complexity in our contracts, is easily available and responds quickly to requests for document review to support customer acquisition and to evaluate novel, potentially risky situations, and his calm demeanor and approachable communication style make it easy for everyone in our company to engage with him and build a culture of risk management. I recommend Mike for technology companies seeking practical, responsive legal support.”
