MICHAEL HAMBLIN, senior associate, is an accomplished business and real estate litigator who recognizes that a dispute’s outcome often depends on the efforts made at its outset. That is why meticulous preparation and a comprehensive, immersive understanding of the law and facts are the hallmarks of his consistently effective advocacy. By putting in the hard work at the beginning of a case, Mike puts his clients in the best position to obtain a favorable result, whether through an early, negotiated resolution or at the end of a hard-fought trial.
With a perspective that acknowledges litigation as a blunt but sometimes unavoidable instrument for resolving business conflicts, Mike always stays focused on a case’s practical, real-world implications so that litigation does not take on a life of its own. He takes the time to fully appreciate each client’s concerns and objectives, using them as the lodestar that guides the strategies he develops. Mike then deploys his prodigious research skills to craft powerful written arguments that are often outcome-determinative.
