Michael Schultz has more than 20 years of experience as both a consultant and attorney, delivering investigative, compliance advisory, risk management and independent oversight services. Throughout his career, Mike has worked with private and public sector clients on a variety of high-profile and sensitive matters.

As a consultant, Mike has leveraged his diverse experience across the private and government sectors to conduct complex investigations; develop, review and enhance compliance programs; provide guidance on regulatory, administrative and contractual matters; lead multidisciplinary monitorship teams overseeing resolution agreements involving government entities; and conduct third-party audits and serve in other fiduciary roles.

In the public sector, Mike served on the executive team of the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, where he oversaw high-priority litigation and enforcement matters and led investigations into alleged violations of statutes, regulations and ethics rules. He also advised the New Jersey Governor’s Office and Cabinet on a range of legal and policy matters, and helped develop and implement key regulatory initiatives.

Earlier in his career, Mike was a partner at a boutique law firm and spent several years at an Am Law 50 firm. As a practicing attorney, he represented financial institutions and other business entities in complex litigation and government enforcement matters, and provided practical regulatory compliance advice to help clients improve operational efficiency and mitigate risk.
