Education: University of Houston - Main Campus

Jurisdictions: Texas - Admitted in 1979 (30 years), 5th Circuit - Admitted in 1980 (29 years), U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas - Admitted in 1981 (28 years), U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas - Admitted in 1982 (27 years), U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas - Admitted in 2008 (1 years)

I have been involved in the planning, trial and appeal of complex business litigation matters for the past 30 years.

I was born born and raised in Iowa City, Iowa and moved to Houston in 1972, where I worked my way through college and law school. I received a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, in 1975 from the University of Houston and a Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1979 from the University of Houston Law Center.

After working for one of Houston’s oldest downtown law firms for two years immediately after law school, I was one of the founding partners in 1981 of the Houston business litigation boutique firm that bore my name and became prominent over the next 20 years in complex business litigation matters in Houston and throughout Texas.

In 2000, I established a solo practice in my home, The Woodlands, Texas (35 miles north of downtown Houston), in which I concentrate on personalized representation of clients in complex business litigation matters and utilization of technology applications in such representation.

I have represented a wide variety of clients in complex business litigation in state and federal courts throughout Texas and the United States. My practice has involved trials and appeals in such diverse litigation areas as corporate reorganization and bankruptcy, securities and business fraud, white collar-business criminal cases, anti-trust, real estate, construction, oil and gas, insurance disputes, civil rights, First Amendment issues, defense of civil and criminal contempt matters, and defense of individuals in NCAA Infractions Committee hearings. I maintain an “AV” rating from the Martindale-Hubbell Legal Directory.

I have been a lecturer at the University of Houston Law Center and the University of Texas Law School, and an author and lecturer for the State Bar of Texas Advanced Bankruptcy Seminar and the Houston Bar Association in various areas of business litigation and corporate reorganization law, as well as on the subject of legal research and weblogs. Since February 2004, I have also maintained the popular Houston's Clear Thinkers weblog, which addresses issues of interest for the Houston legal, business, medical and academic communities. I frequently lecture on a variety of business litigation topics for private companies and citizen groups.

Summary

I have led many difficult, sensitive representations in 27 years of practicing law and believe I have the talent, intellect, passion, energy, and communication skills that clients both want and need. While my nationwide practice focuses mainly on federal court matters, in each of my representations I try to be as efficient as possible by locating and focusing on the core issues involved. I interact effectively with government officials based on my years of service as a federal prosecutor. If a case must be tried, I am very comfortable with juries and judges from years of trying cases (having tried 100+ cases and having handled dozens of appeals)and teaching trial skills to lawyers and students.

I stay quite active in the legal community and have been selected by my peers for many leadership positions in professional organizations. I am also an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Houston Law Center (where I have taught Civil & Criminal Trial Advocacy, Food & Drug Law, and Antitrust & Health Law).

In addition to my J.D., I also have two LL.M. degrees (Tax and Health Law), have been Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and the National Board of Trial Advocacy since the late 1980's, and have spoken nationally (and internationally) and written about issues in antitrust, compliance, governance, health law, pharmaceutical law, securities law, and white collar defense (among others). I developed and am Editor-in-Chief of a pharmaceutical law treatise published by BNA and the ABA Section of Health Law in 2007 (now in supplementation). I have written many book chapters, dozens of articles, and blog on securities law issues (the FCPA, the subprime market collapse, and the broader financial market). See http://research.lawyers.com/blogs/authors/92-Michael-E.-Clark

I also have been interviewed/quoted by many national media sources including AP; CBC, CNBC; Dallas Morning News; 48 Hours; Fox Financial, Health Channel; Houston Chronicle; National Law Journal; New York Law Journal; New York Times; Texas Lawyer; and USA Today.

Disclaimer: This information does create an attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advertising. Rather, it is offered for informational purposes.

Specialties (Other than my listed board certifications, I am not certified as a specialist in other areas)

Representation in administrative, civil, and white collar matters. In the past 20 years, I have been involved in federal cases involving banking fraud, business fraud, commodities law, environmental law, financial fraud, health law, securities law, tax law, and trade law violations.

Jurisdictions: U.S. District Court, Eastern District of North Carolina, U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Tax Court, North Carolina - Admitted in 1980 (29 years)

Michael Weisel concentrates his legal practice on corporate finance, mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, commercial real estate, venture capital, business and corporate law, government relations, administrative and regulatory law, campaign finance and election law, and securities arbitration

Mr. Weisel joined Bailey & Dixon after serving as general counsel to the North Carolina House Speaker Pro Tempore. He actively serves on numerous regulatory and administrative bodies and was general counsel to an occupational licensing board.

Representing corporations, financial institutions, insurance companies, associations and individuals before the N.C. General Assembly, U.S. Congress, agencies and regulators, he brings a unique blend of legal, legislative, business and political skills to successfully navigate his clients through governmental squalls.

Mr. Weisel also employs his distinctive experience and expertise in business representation, believing clients need clear, concise and practical counsel from their lawyer - not a 40-page legal memo. His clients get advice on making a good deal work, not excuses or roadblocks on why a deal can't work.

After working nearly 20 years for firms such as Kemper (Zurich) Financial Services and Wells Fargo Bank, Mr. Weisel understands the business perspective. He has extensive experience in turnarounds, workouts, bankruptcy and litigation management. As an investment manager and advisor, he worked with pension funds, domestic and foreign commercial banks, investment and merchant banks, insurance companies, municipalities, and private investors managing over $1.25 billion in assets.

During the 2008 election for North Carolina State Treasurer, Michael Weisel's extensive experience and qualifications were recognized by the state's largest newspaper. The Charlotte Observer endorsed his candidacy stating, "a high level of expertise is critical, and ought to be the deciding factor for voters. Persuasive campaigning should take a back seat to qualities such as seasoning, the strictest ethics and financial acumen... because of his experience and qualifications, we recommend Michael Weisel for state treasurer." Mr. Weisel's legal abilities have been recognized by his peers in being named "Legal Elite" by Business North Carolina magazine.

I litigate, arbitrate, and try multimillion dollar disputes for individuals and businesses located in the United States and abroad. I have experience in a wide array of legal and procedural areas including: pharmaceutical, product liability, and environmental torts; multidistrict and class action cases involving antitrust, securities, and consumer fraud violations; individual personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from general negligence, medical malpractice, toxic exposures, defective products (drugs, autos, medical devices); lawsuits on behalf of businesses, partnerships, and franchisees for damages related to fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and statutory claims; and claims for the owners of intellectual property seeking damages for theft of trade secrets, patent infringement, and copyright violations. I represent both plaintiffs and defendants as well as large corporations and individuals. I evaluate potential cases everyday with an eye towards investing my law firm's time and money for clients. I've been asked to join preexisting teams prior to trial, and take over lead counsel just prior to trial. I have also agreed to take cases that other lawyers or law firms believed did not justify the investment of time and expense necessary to achieve the client's objectives. I prefer merit based fee arrangements that tie my ultimate compensation to the results I obtain for my client. I've agreed to take over cases pursuant to merit based fee agreements from law firms hired under traditionally hourly terms. Iâve convince my partners to accept merit based fee agreements ranging from reduced hourly fees with a bonus, to fully contingent compensation requiring my firm to advance the value of our time as well as all expert and case expenses required for the case. My firm is a litigation boutique and we only handle litigation matters for clients. We have offices in five cities: Houston, Dallas, Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York City, and have licensed attorneys available to represent clients in those cities and across the United States. I have very extensive experience representing international clients from outside the United States suing for injuries suffered abroad in places like Europe, South America, Africa, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia.
