ALERDING CASTOR HEWITT LLP PARTNER NAMED TO FORTY UNDER 40
Indianapolis, IN – Alerding Castor Hewitt LLP is pleased to announce that Michael Alerding, a partner at the firm, has been named to the 2010 Indianapolis Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 list. The list recognizes local business and professional leaders who have achieved success and excelled in their field before the age of 40. Those honored have demonstrated leadership, initiative and dedication in pursuing their careers, and are likely to continue to achieve in the future.
David Castor, partner at the firm states, "Michael has served the professional and civic community of Indianapolis for many years. I am proud to be a partner of his as he brings with him a strong commitment to our vision while balancing that with a solid family life. Michael represents what we should all strive for - personally and professionally."
Prior to forming Alerding Castor Hewitt, LLP, Alerding was a partner at Sommer Barnard PC and Bingham McHale LLP.
A 1989 Cathedral High School graduate, Alerding received a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Indiana University before pursuing his law degree at IUPUI. He was admitted to the state bar in 1997, the same year he graduated with honors.
Alerding is a husband and a father of three young daughters. “I don’t need to make a whole lot of money nor do I want to necessarily,” he said. “The desire to feed my family is what gets me out of bed in the morning, and everything I do is for the sake and purpose of my family.”
Alerding Castor Hewitt, LLP is an Indianapolis law firm focusing on business law, information technology law (including SaaS law and legal technology consulting), private equity consulting, and business and Internet litigation.
