Partner, Washington, D.C.

Michael Wyatt’s practice focuses on the representation of small business investment companies (SBICs), small business lending companies (SBLCs), Section 8(a) subcontractors, private finance companies, banks, and others involved in small business matters. He has experience representing over 100 SBICs in a variety of structuring, fund formation, licensure, regulatory, operational, taxation, transactional, restricted operations, liquidation, receivership and other matters affecting SBICs and their portfolio companies. Michael, with the assistance of his colleagues, is also adept at successfully linking together SBIC applicants and licensees with new managers providing additional experience and new investors committing additional private capital.

From 1991 to 1993, Michael served as general counsel of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) where he reported directly to the Administrator on all legal matters affecting the Agency. He was involved in the passage of the statute creating the Participating Security Leverage program, and other significant developments affecting the SBIC program. Prior thereto, Michael was in private practice in Washington, D.C., representing clients in complex litigations in state and federal courts.
