Seyfarth Shaw LLP announced today the arrival of partner Michael
Delaney to the firm’s corporate department. Delaney joins Seyfarth
from Bryan Cave, where he was counsel in the corporate and finance
transactions group.
Delaney’s multifaceted public and private company experience,
along with his successful track record in private practice and as
chief legal officer of three multinational companies across
multiple industries, deepens the firm’s offerings to its clients in
the Southeast and beyond.
“As we continue to strategically grow our national corporate
department, and our foothold in Atlanta, we are thrilled to have
Michael join us as our newest partner,” said Steven Kennedy,
Seyfarth’s Atlanta office managing partner. “Michael’s extensive
experience, along with his entrepreneurial and collaborative
mindset, will broaden Atlanta’s full-service practice
offerings.”
Delaney counsels companies, investors and entrepreneurs on a
variety of legal matters, including mergers & acquisitions,
commercial transactions, corporate governance and securities law.
He also has significant experience in regulatory and compliance
matters, both in the U.S. and globally, structuring acquisitions,
divestitures and mergers, drafting and negotiating complex
commercial agreements, public offerings and private placements of
debt and equity securities. Delaney, who also is a certified public
accountant, assists organizations to comply with SEC regulations
and securities laws.
“Michael is a seasoned lawyer whose wide-ranging private
practice and in-house experience counseling businesses in the real
estate, logistics and food manufacturing and distribution sectors,
enhances our ability to advise our firm’s clients in these critical
industries,” noted Steven R. Meier, chair of the firm’s Corporate
department.
Founded in September 1996, Seyfarth’s Atlanta office has grown
from its original two attorneys to approximately 100. The
fast-growing Atlanta office combines full service, leading
attorneys and counsel with extraordinary professionals and
award-winning innovations to provide clients the highest level of
service.
“Seyfarth’s comprehensive, business-driven approach, along with
the strength of its corporate service offerings, provides an
attractive platform to elevate my practice,” said Delaney. “I look
forward to rejoining some of my former colleagues as we build a
destination practice for the most complex and high-profile
corporate matters.”
Delaney received his M.B.A. and M.S. in Finance from Georgia
State University, Master of Accounting from University of North
Carolina, and his J.D. from The Ohio State University Moritz
