“I take a practical, deal-oriented approach to my practice. My clients appreciate that I’m very good at spotting the essential big-picture issues and the real problems early so we can get out front and address them quickly while avoiding getting bogged down in irrelevant details. I’ve got a calm and even-keeled nature and don’t get emotional about things. Clients say they value my ability to distill relatively complex information into something understandable so they can make informed, rational decisions.“

Michael Attaway counsels clients in various corporate transactions, commercial financing transactions, and other business-related matters. He represents private equity firms and strategic buyers and sellers in connection with both acquisitions and divestitures. Chair of the Business Transaction Practice Group, Michael also assists startups and mature businesses with their capital raise efforts, governance, and other corporate issues.

Michael works with financial institutions, credit funds, and borrowers to structure, draft, and negotiate loan documentation for syndicated and bi-lateral asset-based and cash-flow financings, real estate financings, and other secured and unsecured credit facilities. In addition, he advises financial institutions and distressed asset funds in the resolution of distressed loans and real and personal property foreclosures.

With a broad and diverse corporate practice that includes handling several aspects of both transactions and financings, Michael contributes a wide-angle perspective to his clients’ concerns and is readily available to help them in many different capacities. He takes a keen interest in the various businesses he advises across many industries. His educational background in accounting gives him an in-depth understanding of the numbers and how they fit into his clients’ commercial strategies.

Michael particularly enjoys shepherding clients through mergers and acquisitions because these deals sit at the intersection of many different disciplines and always require a great deal of critical thinking. Each transaction large or small brings its own set of unique obstacles that need to be overcome. Michael finds it gratifying to help resolve these problems for his clients and support them in setting their companies and organizations on the path to greater success.

Michael is a co-founder the Mississippi Sports Law Society, which has become one of the largest student organizations at the University of Mississippi School of Law. He is active with Big Brothers Big Sisters and in his free time enjoys watching sports, being active outside, and spending time with friends.
