EXPERIENCE MATTERS

MICHAEL MALARNEY – Throughout my extensive 30+ year career, I have immersed myself in the fields of Transportation and Staffing, starting from the ground up as a leased worker fresh out of college. I worked in management for Vanguard Services, Inc., a national driver staffing company, As a part of my training, I obtained my Commercial Driver’s License. I hired drivers, managed customer accounts/assigned drivers and participated in sales.

While at Vanguard, I pursued law school at night, concurrently working in the legal department. Rising to the position of VP, General Counsel, I navigated multifaceted business challenges including contract negotiations, employment litigation, international operations, compliance, risk management, and the establishment and management of an on-demand staffing division.

I played a pivotal role in Vanguard’s acquisition by Transport Drivers/Optimum Staffing, subsequently serving as their VP, General Counsel. My journey then led me to Driving Ambition, where I held the position of EVP, General Counsel, overseeing legal affairs through another successful acquisition by TransForce, Inc. As TransForce’s inaugural VP, General Counsel, I spearheaded the development of the legal function, contributing to its growth and navigating through eight strategic acquisitions.

Throughout my career, I have conquered legal challenges spanning contract management, employment law, litigation, mediation, risk mitigation, safety protocols, M&A, compliance initiatives, and training programs.

Drawing from this wealth of experience, I founded Malarney Law LLC, offering strategic legal counsel tailored to businesses seeking practical solutions. My mission is to serve as a trusted partner, providing pragmatic legal advice derived from firsthand experience in the transportation and staffing industries.

Businessperson's Perspective

My journey began in management, where I not only spearheaded ventures but also navigated the complexities of launching and closing companies, making tough decisions on employee hiring and termination, and shouldering the weight of business finances. From ensuring payroll to securing business loans, I've experienced firsthand the challenges of running a business from the ground up.

Furthermore, my tenure as an in-house counsel has afforded me a holistic understanding of businesses, from executive leadership to frontline management.
