Michael T.

Experienced Corporate Lawyer | M&A, Startups, and Business Law

I’m a business-focused attorney and legal operations consultant with a proven track record in corporate transactions, M&A support, and business restructuring. Over the past several years, I’ve advised startups, family businesses, and investors on deals ranging from $15,000 to $600K to $5M, handling everything from due diligence and deal structuring to contract drafting and negotiation. My professional background combines BigLaw-level editorial expertise with hands-on transactional practice: At Thomson Reuters – Practical Law, I built and scaled legal resources used by 100+ law firms and in-house teams, streamlined compliance frameworks, and grew engagement to over 1,300+ subscribers. At my own practice, I’ve eliminated $1M+ in client liability, developed repeatable legal templates (NDAs, leases, notes, vendor agreements), and collaborated with CPAs and advisors to deliver integrated business strategies. Deal highlights include buy- and sell-side representation in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and IT service companies, plus minority investment structuring for emerging businesses. What I bring to your project: Clear, business-oriented legal drafting (contracts, M&A docs, compliance frameworks). Deal execution support: due diligence, negotiation prep, closing documentation. Strategic insight from both the legal and business side, ensuring risks are managed and opportunities captured. Strong communication and process management — I keep clients informed and deliverables on track. If you’re a business owner, investor, or growing company seeking reliable support on transactions, contracts, or strategic legal projects, I can step in as your trusted partner.
