Overview

Michael represents his clients in transactions aimed at corporate growth and increasing financial performance for businesses. He helps clients navigate the complexities of corporate law when the stakes are high, whether for mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt financing, real estate deals or other commercial transactions.

Michael’s clients operate across the U.S., and he has been involved in structuring, negotiating and documenting a wide variety of business transactions across many industries, including technology, health care, retail, restaurants and real estate. Lately, many of his clients are companies expanding into Texas from California and New York, or relocating their corporate headquarters to take advantage of the robust economy and business-friendly environment Texas offers. Many clients engage Michael to serve in the role of outside general counsel after an initial representation in a specific deal because they value and appreciate his comprehensive understanding of the legal and business issues that companies face in complex transactions. 

Michael’s practice is heavily devoted to equity and debt transactions on behalf of emerging companies as well as representation of angel investors, private equity and venture capital on the investment side. He has a deep understanding of the regulatory issues that arise in corporate mergers and acquisitions and private equity deals, including fund formation and raising money in the capital markets. His corporate practice also includes the formation and ongoing representation of corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, joint ventures and other entities as well as the individual owners of these enterprises.

Armed with extensive experience in real estate transactions, Michael represents clients in a multitude of real estate and real estate-related transactions, including buyers and sellers in the purchase and sale of commercial real estate, owners and developers in commercial real estate projects and landlords and tenants in commercial leasing transactions. A significant portion of his real estate practice is focused on real estate finance, including the representation of borrowers in balance sheet loan transactions, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other types of non-recourse financings. Michael’s real estate engagements include “dirt and sticks” transactions all the way up to the formation of real estate funds and private placements.

Prior to joining Munsch Hardt, Michael worked with multiple law firms based in Houston and Nevada. Originally from the country, Michael enjoys spending time outdoors with his three young sons.
