Michele Walsh

Michele Bresnick Walsh (Col ’92 CM) has been elected as chair and CEO of the law firm Gordon Feinblatt LLC, effective July 31, 2024.

Walsh is the first woman to occupy this role in the firm’s 71-year history. She began as an Associate at Gordon Feinblatt in 1997, as a business and securities lawyer. Over time, she has become an integral member of many of the firm’s practice groups, including forming the EMERGE practice group for emerging businesses. She currently chairs the firm’s Business and Securities practice groups, serves on the firm’s Executive Committee, and chairs the firm’s Finance Committee and Talent Acquisition Committee.

Walsh is also a tireless advocate in the community where she is involved in the leadership of many philanthropic organizations, including There Goes My Hero Foundation, Lawyers’ Campaign Against Hunger, Executive Alliance and many others. She relates to those looking to “seize the day,” and has done just that in her professional and personal life.
