Michael Shimada

“An attorney’s understanding of the details and nuances of regulatory and compliance issues is imperative, but that knowledge is only valuable to a client if they understand them as well.”
Michael Shimada works with health care providers on a wide range of regulatory and compliance matters and business transactions. He combines an enthusiasm for health care policy issues that predates his legal career with a practice focused on helping clients navigate heavily-regulated and complex aspects of their businesses. Michael takes a client-centered approach, diving deep into the weeds of a problem so that he can provide clear, concise, and practical counsel to his clients.
Prior to joining Hooper, Lundy & Bookman, Michael worked at a global law firm assisting employers with domestic and cross-border employment matters. He advised on employment policies and practices to ensure compliance and minimize risks arising from the multi-dimensional legal and regulatory frameworks that govern employment issues. Michael counseled clients on state, federal, and global employment laws in connection with workforce management and expansion, domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations and spin-offs, and other significant transactions and strategic decisions. He also protected his clients’ interests when employment disputes arose, helping them avoid and resolve costly and disruptive litigation.
