About

A boutique corporate law firm, led by a senior attorney.

Delphine Legal gives founder-led and growth companies direct access to experienced corporate counsel.

The Founder

Michael Ni.

Michael Ni is the founder and managing partner of Delphine Legal. A New York-admitted attorney, he has advised companies, founders, and investors on corporate and cross-border transactions since 2003.

His practice spans mergers and acquisitions, capital markets and securities, and serving as outside and fractional general counsel to founder-led and growth-stage companies. He began his career at leading international law firms, including Hogan Lovells and Clifford Chance, working on complex corporate transactions and government affairs matters.

Michael founded Delphine Legal on a simple premise: that growing companies deserve the judgment of a big-firm lawyer, delivered directly, efficiently, and with their business goals in mind.
