Michael specializes in matters which are driven by or related to intellectual property. Most of his clients are active in the franchise, media and technology industries and Michael advises in relation to the registration and maintenance of intellectual property rights, as well as the licensing and effective exploitation of such rights in the United Arab Emirates and abroad.
Michael is particularly interested in the areas of “green” building techniques and renewable energy and is member of various groups which promote the development and use of such technologies.
Michael studied law in Berlin (Germany), Bayreuth (Germany) and Melbourne (Australia). In July 2002, he was awarded a Master's degree in Intellectual Property Law (LL.M.) from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

Michael was admitted to the German Bar in October 2004 and was awarded a doctorate in law (Dr. jur.) for his thesis on "Ways to legally protect television format rights under US and German law" in February 2006.
