Michael Oberlander is a General Counsel at Freightos. He possess expertise in corporate governance, corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, legal compliance, contract negotiation and 42 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Michael would be an asset to any organization and any team. He is a strategic thinker, a thoughtful leader, and great team player. During my time working with Michael, he brought multiple teams together and broke down communication barriers, helped create actions to implement a strategic plan, created a collaborative culture, and pushed me to always improve my work. To this day, with every project, I still think to myself, "what would Michael do/say"." and "I give my highest recommendation to Mike. He would be a credit to any organization. I have known Mike well for nearly 25 years, quite nearly my entire time practicing law. He interviewed in late 1995 me for a position as an associate at Bryan Cave (now Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, where I still practice). Mike and I were close colleagues while he was at the firm, and he became a client when he took the position of General Counsel at Caleres (then Brown Shoe) in 2000. While he was only a year senior to me at the firm, he nevertheless served as an informal mentor, and became a close personal friend as well. This continued during his work at the Jewish Federation in St. Louis after his time at Caleres. I can unequivocally vouch for Mike’s abilities as a corporate lawyer at the highest level. He successfully transitioned from a corporate lawyer to a general counsel quickly and was able not only to grasp, but to have a nuanced understanding of many areas of the law. Perhaps his greatest ability in that regard was to think across specialty areas and link issues together across traditional practice boundaries. Mike’s ability to not only spot problems, but to solve those problems, led him to be more than a general counsel at Caleres, but a true business leader. Mike’s skills are matched, if not exceeded, by his integrity and character as a person. His reputation for honesty, trustworthiness, character, integrity and citizenship are well earned. As a lawyer, especially in a transactional practice, I know that one of the challenges is to balance working zealously to achieve the clients’ goals, but also having the courage to give the client frank and candid advice that may not be what the client wants to hear. While we all strive to achieve that balance, Mike is as close to ideal in that respect as I have seen in my 26 years of law practice. He is an outstanding lawyer and person in every regard. And his ability to connect to people on an interpersonal level is a big part of that. "

Listed skills include Corporate Governance, Corporate Law, Mergers And Acquisitions, Legal Compliance, and 43 others.
