Michael L. Thomas, Jr
Attorney at Law
I am an attorney and strategic advisor from Brooklyn, New York. I advise clients on complex disputes, investigations, workplace matters, securities litigation, corporate governance issues, appeals, and sophisticated legal writing.
My practice is grounded in careful judgment, analytical precision, and calm execution.
Primary Focus & Experience
Before launching my practice, I advised clients at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz on high-stakes investigations, litigation, and corporate governance matters.
I received my J.D. from Harvard Law School, where I also was the President of the Harvard Law Review.
After law school, I clerked on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Princeton University with a degree in Sociology.
Representative Experience
I have advised clients in high-stakes matters across finance, technology, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, media, sports, and consumer commerce. My areas of representative experience include:
Beyond the Practice
I have a deep interest in arts, culture, and pandemic-resilient infrastructure and innovation. That work reflects a broader commitment to rigorous thinking, creative problem-solving, and building systems that help people gather, work, and live with greater care.
