Mike is a startup and venture capital lawyer, with a half-decade of prior experience as a mergers and acquisition attorney for various Fortune 500 clients. He joined the Bowery Legal team to pursue his goal of working with bright and pioneering founders in their early-stage companies, along with the investors who see the promise in backing and nurturing such ventures. He enjoys assisting young companies in the full gamut of legal matters that arise throughout a startup’s lifespan, from formation to financing to eventual acquisition or IPO, as well as in all the various day-to-day matters in between.
Mike graduated from Tulane University and NYU Law, and formerly practiced as a member of the corporate teams of Greenberg Traurig and Mayer Brown. He does his best to balance his love for traveling with not wanting to be away from his dog for too long, and you might bump into him playing pick-up basketball around New York City.

Enes was educated and trained as an attorney in Istanbul, Turkey, one of the greatest cities in the world to visit (and live)! After practicing at Baker McKenzie’s Istanbul office as an M&A associate for four years, he decided to pursue his dream to move to the US, and so he attended Duke Law, where he received an LLM. After Duke Law, Enes’s passion for entrepreneurial and technology related law lead him to apply for a job with Bowery Legal, where he joined the team in September of 2022.
Enes feels a deep connection to his work, and is strongly incentivized in his work with the founders, entrepreneurs and investors the Bowery Legal represents to help them make a lasting impact in the world with their innovative ideas, and to help their companies and/or funds achieve the highest heights possible. To that end, he assists clients from formation until exit and every other phase in-between. To keep fresh, Enes plays soccer in his free time (and is a huge fan of professional soccer as well) and enjoys open-mic stand-up comedy shows.

Aaron is a startup and venture capital lawyer who brings several years of experience representing emerging companies, venture capital investors, and technology companies at Cooley LLP. He advises clients across the full lifecycle of a startup, from formation and early financings through growth, scaling, and exit. He joined Bowery Legal driven by his passion for working alongside founders at the earliest stages of their journeys—often when it’s just two people with a big idea—and helping guide them as they grow. Aaron thrives on the energy, ambition, and determination that define early-stage teams, and he finds it deeply rewarding to help build dreams alongside the founders who are bringing them to life.
Aaron graduated from Vanderbilt University and earned his JD/LLMLE from Duke University School of Law. Outside the office, you can find him playing pickup basketball, going to concerts, or heading out on a long road trip in search of his next adventure (the longest road trip he’s done is Nashville to Alaska!)
