Meet Your Instructor, Michael Evens

For the past five years, Michael has been helping clients to navigate the complexities and frustrations of growing a health-tech business. He was co-founder of a fractional General Counsel law firm named Trifecta General Counsel and now is a partner at Michael Best (though he’s the Best Michael, it’s confusing). While having practiced law for the past five years focused on healthcare, Michael’s also done everything from managing sales teams, implementing sales processes and CRM, managing products and even running a few engineering teams. How many lawyers do you know that can say they ran engineering?

Michael’s based outside of Minneapolis, MN, is a father of two awesome kids, a husband of one lovely lady and the owner of countless crushing disappointments as a lifelong MN sports fan.
