Michelle Park Chiu

Extended Profile

Recognized in Bloomberg Law’s inaugural “They’ve Got Next: The 40 Under 40” in 2021 and by the National Asian Pacific Bar Association in 2018 with its “Best Under 40” award, Michelle regularly defends global technology companies in antitrust litigation in the Northern District of California. She served as trial counsel for a global technology company in a jury trial in November 2023 and currently defends an international technology company against price-fixing claims in multiple markets for electronic components. She also defended a mortgage technology company in litigation brought by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) challenging a proposed $16 billion acquisition.

Michelle also represents clients in complex commercial disputes. As lead counsel, she successfully obtained a $24 million judgment on behalf of a financial institution pursuant to an indemnification agreement relating to a data breach in the Southern District of Texas, which was affirmed by the Fifth Circuit. Additionally, she has successfully enforced arbitration clauses on behalf of financial institutions in multiple putative class action claims.

Michelle has an active pro bono practice representing individuals in immigration matters. She successfully defended a detained refugee in removal proceedings, resulting in the complete dismissal of all charges against the client during a multiyear representation that resulted in the client becoming a naturalized US citizen. Michelle also successfully obtained a U-Visa for a victim of criminal activity and secured asylum for a client from Syria. Michelle currently serves on the Morgan Lewis Foundation Board.
