Michele joined HJF Law in 2023 and focuses her practice on corporate and business law matters. She advises startups and emerging growth companies, from corporate formation to financing and beyond. She brings a strong business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to help businesses accelerate their growth and solve their legal challenges.
Michele strongly believes in the HJF vision- namely that it’s never too early to seek legal advice and that small businesses should not have to break the bank to obtain effective legal representation. She enjoys serving as fractional general counsel and handling a wide-range of issues related to corporate governance, privacy, third-party agreements and employment matters, to name a few. On a day to day basis, Michele reviews, drafts and negotiates a variety of agreements (including but not limited to NDAs, statements of work, MSAs, licensing/Saas agreements, privacy policies/terms of use, SAFEs, SAFTs, token warrants, convertible notes, stock/asset purchase agreements, board/shareholder resolutions, and shareholder agreements.)
Michele graduated from Boston College in 2016 with a BA in Economics and obtained a JD in 2020 from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. While at Cardozo, Michele served as the Managing Editor of the Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice. Prior to joining HJF Law, Michele worked at a Boston-based firm where she acquired experience in commercial banking and real estate finance.
Michele is admitted to practice law in Massachusetts and New York. She works for the firm remotely. In her free time, she enjoys viewing performative arts, traveling and writing for her blog laptopandapen.com. Outside of law, Michele loves to talk about self-empowerment, career development and social issues.
