  • Michael is really good at analytical thinking, takes great pains to get a full understanding of a matter from all the advisers' perspectives and different jurisdictional perspectives. He is lovely to work with, very patient, incredibly diligent, very strong technical knowledge, very creative. I also think Michael is very calm: he has a calm demeanour. Someone you'd want to be next to in the trenches.
