The newly published 2018 edition of Chambers High Net Worth (click on “Ranked Lawyers”) ranks Michael in Band 1 (up from Band 2 in the previous year).

Chambers quotes sources as saying: “I have always seen clients coming out of his office with smiles on their faces – he’s friendly, efficient and unassuming” and”he’s extremely well versed in the tax implications of the various structuring alternatives.”

Chambers has been assessing lawyers for more than 25 years based on interviews with those active in the market, mainly clients and other lawyers with whom they work and assessing recent work done.
