About

Hi! I’m Michael Oswald. I am a business guy who also happens to be a lawyer.  I love living in Boise, Idaho!  I’ve also had the pleasure of living in Silicon Valley, Colorado Springs, Austin, and Orange County, CA.

I started this blog so business owners and senior execs could find actionable guidance on common legal issues. Titles of posts I have previously written include: “The Managerial Overtime Exemption, and How to Keep It,” “Using a Sales Contract that speeds up Getting to Yes,” and “Tone at the Top is Vital for Preventing Sexual Harassment!”

I provide a wide range of business-savvy legal services to small and medium companies and nonprofits.

My favorite thing to do for a business is to take their standard sales contract and strip it down from an unintelligible 20-page monstrosity to a concise, 3-page doc that is easy for their customers to understand and to sign!

I have experience in a number of industries, including Real Estate, Construction, Defense, and Technology (Hardware, Software and E-Commerce).

I look forward to collaborating with you!
