We’ve earned many loyal clients by understanding each one’s unique goals, opportunities, and challenges and by delivering results, year after year. Our focus is on your entire organization, not just on the legal matters we’re involved in.

  • Banking & Financial Services

  • Energy Law
  • Environmental & Natural Resources
  • Government Relations & Public Policy
  • Intellectual Property

Michael Best has a long history of serving clients in the consumer and industrial products sectors. As those sectors evolve, our practice has grown to encompass a diverse range of technology and software clients.
Additionally, we have deep experience in a number of industries that are subject to unique regulatory schemes or rapidly changing market conditions, such as:

  • Agribusiness
  • Energy
  • Food & Beverage
