We help clients make deals happen. At Michelman Robinson, we counsel public and private companies, private equity firms, investors, founders, and boards at every stage of growth, from formation and capitalization through expansion, exit, and beyond. Our clients operate across industries and borders, and we bring the strategic foresight, legal fluency, and commercial judgment to guide them through both routine transactions and transformative moments.

Middle-market transactions are a particular focus. We regularly lead buy- and sell-side M&A, capital raises, joint ventures, private equity investments, venture financings, and restructurings with a level of sophistication typically found at much larger firms. Our lean, senior-heavy deal teams combine technical excellence with industry insight, delivering counsel that aligns with business realities and withstands scrutiny.

Whether advising a fast-growing SaaS company on a growth equity round, guiding a strategic acquisition in the healthcare or hospitality space, or structuring a cross-border joint venture, we move with urgency, creativity, and precision. Clients value our ability to look around corners, foresee regulatory or market friction, and engineer solutions that are both sound and strategic.

We also advise on a wide range of corporate and securities matters—governance, SEC reporting and disclosure, proxy matters, compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and DoddFrank, NYSE and Nasdaq rules, and stakeholder engagement. Our team works closely with boards and management to navigate investor expectations, activist challenges, and evolving ESG and fiduciary standards.

At MR, transactional work is never siloed. Our corporate lawyers collaborate seamlessly with leading practitioners across employment, IP, tax, litigation, insurance, real estate, and regulatory disciplines. This integrated model empowers clients to anticipate risk, accelerate momentum, and close on time and on point.
