SAN FRANCISCO, CA, April 25, 2024: The Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA) has named antitrust litigation partner Michelle Park Chiu a 2024 Rising Star.
MCCA’s Rising Stars is an annual list featuring attorneys with extraordinary accomplishments and dedication to the legal profession and to their community. According to MCCA, “all possess the love of law, ambition, and pursuit of excellence while possessing compassion for those in need and a strong desire to give back to others.”
A seasoned antitrust litigator representing clients from trial to appeal, Michelle also defends clients facing complex civil litigation and breach of contract disputes. In just one recent example, she served as trial counsel for a global technology company in a jury trial in November 2023.
Michelle has an active pro bono practice representing individuals in immigration matters. She successfully defended a detained refugee in removal proceedings, resulting in the complete dismissal of all charges against the client during a multiyear representation that resulted in the client becoming a naturalized US citizen. Michelle also obtained a U-Visa for a victim of criminal activity and secured asylum for a client from Syria. Michelle currently serves on the Morgan Lewis Foundation Board. She also was named by Corporate Counsel as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Champion as part of its Women, Influence & Power in Law Awards in 2022 and in Bloomberg Law’s inaugural “They’ve Got Next: The 40 Under 40” in 2021.
MCCA’s 2024 Rising Stars will be recognized at the 2024 Creating Pathways to Diversity Conference on September 24 for their professional achievements and commitment to improving their community.
