We are pleased to announce that Van Osdol has expanded its practice areas to include immigration law. Attorneys David Kim and Michael Grigsby will lead the team where they can put their cultural and linguistic skills in Korean and Chinese to use. They have just returned from the National American Immigration Lawyers Association Conference in Las Vegas, where they attended seminars on topics ranging from temporary worker visas to investor immigration to family immigration. Please let us be at your service in navigating the complex world of immigration law.
Before practicing law, David launched and successfully grew a chain of retail stores in the greater Kansas City area. This experience continues to inform David’s approach to practicing law, which is delivering affordable and impactful legal advice to clients while respecting and acknowledging their very personal stake in the outcome.
In 2009, David left one of the largest law firms in Kansas City to join us here at Van Osdol. He represents clients in a wide variety of purchase and sale transactions, private equity and venture capital transactions, spin-offs and restructurings, recapitalizations, leveraged buyouts and other financing transactions. David advises clients routinely about issues like entity selection, intellectual property protection, board governance, ownership affairs, and tax law.
In addition, David enjoys helping businesses with day-to-day legal matters such as contract or lease review, risk management and dispute resolution.
Michael joined our firm as an associate in October of 2015 and brings with him a diversity of professional and personal experiences.
During law school at the University of Kansas, Michael served as an intern at the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas for the Honorable Janice Karlin and at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in Kansas City. He received CALI awards for outstanding academic achievement in five courses and was elected to the Order of the Coif upon graduation.
Michael also holds a degree in English law from the University of London. He lived and worked in Hong Kong for seven years and is fluent in Cantonese Chinese.
