Today, my guest is Michael Esquivel, a Partner at Fenwick and nationally recognized corporate and securities lawyer for emerging and high-growth companies. He provides strategic counseling primarily in the healthtech, consumer, enterprise, fintech and cloud & internet industries. Michael’s passion for working with cutting-edge companies that are transforming industries and improving lives stems from his experience as general counsel of a venture-backed healthtech company.

Michael is particularly active in healthtech and was recently named one of nine “behind-the scenes players who can make or break a digital-health startup” by Business Insider. He also serves as an advisor to Rock Health, a venture fund focused on powering the future of healthcare.

A regular contributor to Fenwick’s Life Sciences Legal Insights blog, Michael frequently writes about the latest issues and trends affecting the ever-evolving healthtech industry and shares additional insights on X and LinkedIn.
