Colligan Law LLP has added Michael “Mickey” Mahr as an associate attorney within its growing business transactions practice. He has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance.

Mr. Mahr joins the team from another regional corporate law firm where he spent three years focused on merger and acquisition transactions. He is experienced in contract law, corporate structuring, litigation support, intellectual property, and general business law matters. He also possesses experience in U.S. securities laws, cryptocurrency compliance, blockchain technology, money transmission and white-collar defense, following two years with a Miami-based cryptocurrency firm.

“We are happy to have Mickey joining our business transactions team,” said Managing Partner Matthew Pelkey. “We are especially pleased to bring his strong background in financial law, mergers and acquisitions support, compliance and legislative processes to the benefit of our clients.”

Mahr earned his juris doctorate from the University at Buffalo School of Law, to pair with his bachelor's degree in philosophy from Stony Brook University and associate’s degree in liberal arts from Suffolk County Community College.

“I was drawn to the firm because the partners seemed genuine and sophisticated, with extensive experience and passion for their areas of the law – the type of colleagues that would be a pleasure to work with and learn from,” Mahr said. “The firm has an entrepreneurial spirit, providing excellence in legal services and advocating growth within a positive working environment.”

Mahr resides in Williamsville, N.Y., with his wife, Maria.
