Michelle Moore

Associate

Michelle graduated from the University of California, Davis in 2021 with a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Communications. She received her Juris Doctor from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2024 where she received the High Tech Law Certificate with a Corporate Specialization and served as the Senior Managing Editor of the Santa Clara Law Review.

During law school, Michelle completed a legal internship in Vienna, Austria, through Santa Clara Law’s abroad program, and worked for a federal judge at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Michelle was also a student associate at Santa Clara Law’s Entrepreneur’s Law Clinic, where she fell in love with advising start-ups and small businesses on the various legal issues that arise during their growth. She continues to be involved with Santa Clara Law by serving as a mentor for incoming 1Ls.

In her words, “Taking Jeff Hyman’s ‘Legal Issues of Start-up Businesses’ course in the Spring of 2023 introduced me to the legal issues surrounding nondisclosure agreements, intellectual property, employment, and venture financing in the early stages of a company’s growth. As a Contracts Manager at LWD Advisors, it is rewarding to put that knowledge into practice by assisting real clients who are so appreciative of our work.
