Over the course of 25 years, Michele has firmly established herself as an effective and efficient transactional tax lawyer who advises on a wide range of transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, fund formations, capital markets and securities offerings, financings, joint ventures and restructurings, with a dedicated focus on their tax implications.
Michele’s experience advising clients spans across industries, and working closely with clients has allowed her to develop a focus in several areas that complement the services our corporate department offers. She guides healthcare clients and investors through sales and acquisitions of healthcare facilities, and works with companies in the technology, media, entertainment, energy and renewables, and infrastructure sectors, among others.
Michele was drawn to tax law because of how it is woven into the fabric of nearly every issue a business client encounters. This experience is evident in how she approaches any transactional matter that arises, providing tailored counsel on the intricacies of related tax issues.
