Michaela Pomponio

As a business lawyer in Miller Titerle’s Business Law Group in Vancouver, Michaela Pomponio helps business owners understand and manage the legal side of running, growing, buying, or selling a business. Her practice focuses on corporate and commercial matters, with an emphasis on mergers and acquisitions. She regularly leads and supports key aspects of transactions, including due diligence reviews, negotiating and drafting contracts, and coordinating closings. Clients and colleagues appreciate Michaela’s ability to keep even the most complex files organized and on track, translate dense legal concepts into clear, actionable advice, and navigate the inevitable last-minute curveballs.

EXPERTISE

Michaela’s work with business owners is informed by her experience growing up and working in her family’s small, owner-operated business in Victoria. Through that experience, she gained a firsthand understanding of the dedication, risk, and perseverance required to build and grow a successful business. Today, she brings that perspective to transactions, helping clients navigate complex decisions, manage risk, and stay organized while keeping their broader business goals in focus. She understands the challenge of balancing a transaction with the day-to-day demands of running a business and strives to provide practical, clear guidance every step of the way. Above all, Michaela recognizes that, for many business owners, buying or selling a business is more than a financial transaction – it’s the culmination of years of hard work, personal identity, and legacy.

WORTH NOTING

Outside of the office, Michaela can usually be found in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes that she’s swapped with her sister. She is currently on a mission to perfect homemade pasta, pasta sauce, and meatballs. When she’s not cooking, she is out on long walks (more “wander and explore” than “race and record a time”) and firmly believes a good walk is best measured in sweet treats and dog sightings, not kilometres (to date, a highly successful system).
