Michael E Borden

MICHAEL BORDEN leads the Government Strategies group, leveraging his considerable prior government experience to help leading institutions and individual clients navigate the most difficult crises involving government oversight. One of his strengths is developing nuanced, effective strategies to manage high profile and high stakes Congressional investigations and inquiries. Michael also provides lobbying assistance and strategic advice on policy matters to clients in a wide range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, life sciences, media, technology, automotive, retail, and agriculture.

Counseling international clients is a cornerstone of Michael’s practice, and he has considerable experience advising foreign clients that are seeking to invest, expand, or operate in the United States. He helps clients navigate the myriad legislative and regulatory regimes impacting foreign companies and, when intervention becomes necessary, facilitates communication with U.S. federal and state agencies, as well as industry and trade associations. Michael has assisted foreign- and U.S.-headquartered companies manage the risks or fallout from U.S. government sanctions and red flag lists, and has prepared many of these clients to face not only U.S. congressional inquiries but also UK parliamentary inquiries and related legislation.
