About Us

Founded by Michael Katzke and Henry Morgenbesser in 2013, Katzke Miller & Morgenbesser LLP (effective May 2025) is a boutique law firm specializing in the representation of senior management teams in mergers and acquisitions and individual senior executives in contract negotiations in a broad range of complex compensation-related matters.

In the mergers and acquisitions space, we represent executive teams in corporate transactions, including private equity buy-outs, go-private transactions and strategic transactions. The firm also represents individual senior executives in high-end employment and severance matters, including new hire packages, CEO succession and transition, change in control planning, significant equity grants and long-term incentive plan design and negotiation, among other matters.

Each of our named partners has specialized in executive compensation for over twenty years. As former partners at major New York and international law firms, we are uniquely situated to provide independent, high quality, focused and responsive service without the likelihood of potential conflicts of interest.
