Michael Wolfson practices as an Independent Corporate Counsel, serving as a part-time in-house counsel to venture-backed and public technology companies.
EXPERIENCE TO MEET YOUR NEEDSWith many years of experience as business law partner at a Boston firm and as general counsel at a technology company before starting his practice as Independent Corporate Counsel, Michael is an experienced and skilled negotiator and legal drafter who can quickly understand the real issues in a transaction and implement effective solutions to get deals done. Michael can provide the advantages of high level in-house legal services without committing to an in-house position, and at rates significantly lower than those charged by outside law firms.
EXPERTISE AND FOCUSMichael's primary focus is on drafting and negotiating in-bound and out-bound licensing, development, sales, distribution and channel partner agreements — including a variety of permanent, term, hosted and SAAS licensing models — with an eye towards business objectives, intellectual property protections and revenue recognition issues.

PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL AND PRACTICALClients benefit from prompt, professional and practical responses from an experienced lawyer who understands the legal and business needs of a growing technology business. Although many of his clients use large downtown firms for specialized matters (such as financing, m&a and tax work), they often find that the firm attorneys lack the practical business sense to effectively and efficiently deal with the quick pace, and often the quarter-end deadlines, of contract negotiations.
COST-EFFECTIVE WITH GREAT RESULTSMichael works with clients on an as-needed hourly basis on a wide range of licensing, intellectual property and general business and corporate matters. His clients are companies that either do not require a full-time counsel or that need additional in-house resources but don't want to bring in another full-time employee.
