They Say
What Clients Say
A challenging executive exit made easier co-partnering with Michael Law Group
I had a pleasure working with Michael Law Group in general protection and employment law case.
Throughout my experience working with the team and Vivian as the principal legal counsel, I felt safe and secured – knowing that I had someone I could lean on throughout this emotionally and mentally challenging time.
Vivian’s confidence, light-heartedness, strategic and well-balanced approach is an asset to any clients.
Her thoroughness in providing situational insights, law context and the next steps recommendations had provided me an opportunity to “co-pilot” my journey with Vivian.
I would recommend Michael Law Group to my friends and family members.

EMMA M.
Executive
Vivian, Is the most hard-working ethical conscientious and empathetic person I could’ve asked for to support me in my journey. She managed a very complex high profile client, with professionalism, integrity, and passion for what is right. Vivian’s frank and fearless approach was all the encouragement I needed, to keep my head high when time became overwhelming and challenging. ( and trust me they do at time, but Vivian never gave up) Vivian’s humanistic negotiation strategy was successful, she closed the case, in my favour and fought hard for a resolution, that I was pleased with.
CARMELLO P.
Employee & Company Director
Michael Law Group, and Vivian Michael in particular were recommended to me to help negotiate my exit as an employed Company Director of the company I was associated with. Vivian's knowledge and proven skillsets in both Employment and Company Law provided reassuring guidance and importantly a favorable outcome. I have no hesitation in highly recommending and endorsing Michael Law Group's services to anyone for your legal and business needs.
