Michael earned his B.A. in Economics and Political Science from Vanderbilt University. He returned home to attend law school at the University of Cincinnati College of Law. Michael founded Perkinson Legal in 2020 to provide holistic counsel to private companies and their owners. He passionately represents business clients and considers being a vicarious entrepreneur his most prized “fringe benefit.” He works with private companies and the owners of businesses of all sizes, and throughout all phases of the companies’ life cycle. Michael focuses on M&A transactions, outside general counsel, contract negotiation, and counseling clients to resolve agreements gone wrong. He enjoys learning how each client’s business operates and generates revenue, and what pressures and challenges each face, which he says puts him in a better position to provide practical advice that helps clients’ bottom lines.
Michael is actively involved in local non-profits and charities and enjoys engaging in the community, and he considers cooking and drawing his most therapeutic hobbies.
Admitted in Ohio, Kentucky, and Federal Court.
