Our job is finding and implementing solutions for a company’s potential and current issues – so our clients can focus on growing their businesses without worry and distraction.

FOR LEADERS
ABOUT MICHELLE BUFANO: LEVERAGING HER LEGAL BACKGROUND TO HELP CLIENTS THRIVE
Michelle Bufano is a lawyer by training and spent the first 25 years of her career defending multi-national corporations in high stakes litigation. Through this experience, Michelle learned first-hand the need for businesses to have vigorous risk management procedures in place.
After over a decade as a partner at large law firms, the pandemic inspired Michelle to realize her true calling: helping businesses avoid the pitfalls that could erode and destroy their ultimate value. After a year of pursuing her passion in a law firm setting, Michelle's grateful clients knew that she had much more to offer than legal advice. Thus, the idea of forming Michelle Bufano Business Consulting LLC was born.
Michelle's vision is to proactively provide strategic business risk management advice and related services to start-up and mid-stage companies, as well as to venture capitalists and hedge funds investing in young companies. As a consultant, Michelle leverages her vast legal experience and business knowledge to assist companies in realizing their maximum value and potential. Michelle's goal is not to fix your company's problems; it is to put measures in place to try to proactively avoid potential missteps.
While Michelle is available and excited to help all types of founders and entrepreneurs, she has a special interest in female-owned companies and businesses founded by individuals from historically underrepresented groups. As the mother of two teen-aged daughters, it is important to Michelle to help create "A world where all women thrive." Additionally, Michelle has learned first-hand the impact a lack of resources and access can have on building a business. Her goal is to level the playing field for all people to participate. Michelle also offers one-on-one and group coaching services to these entrepreneurs, as well.

In addition to founding Michelle Bufano Business Consulting LLC and being a mother, Michelle also commits herself to normalizing the "stigma" of owning our emotions, as well as supporting and championing other women. She writes extensively on various business topics on her weekly blog, The Midpoint Blog; speaks on issues of female empowerment through her other company, HER Point LLC (website forthcoming); and is writing a book about the power of authenticity and human connection (publication expected late 2024). She also maintains a separate small legal practice where she provides limited legal services to her consulting clients.
