His clients have been U.S. and foreign public and private companies and foreign governments.
Chair of Michael Best’s Corporate & Transactional Practice Bret Roge added, “There are a lot of questions surrounding global growth and the M&A market this year. Craig’s US and international experience will benefit the firm during this time and be a great complement to our capital markets and mergers and acquisitions practices to our team here in Milwaukee and our clients across the country.”
Some of the praises Stoehr has received include making the “Forty Under 40” list with the Milwaukee Business Journal in 2007, the 2014 British Legal Award for “General Counsel of the Year,” ranked a top lawyer in Qatar by Chambers & Partners, named to the 2015 Legal Business “UK GC 50 Power List,” and many more.
Stoehr earned his J.D. from Northwestern University School of Law and earned his B.A. from the University of Minnesota.
