Who We Are

We are dedicated to helping one another succeed.

In the complicated maze of business and health care legal issues, ByrdAdatto seeks to create simplicity for our clients. This includes making the law accessible and easy to understand through ongoing education, thought leadership, and creative solutions that positively impact our clients and their businesses.

Our Story

The story of ByrdAdatto began long before Michael Byrd and Brad Adatto became attorneys. As sons of doctors who owned private medical practices, Michael and Brad grew up around the influences of both medicine and business. These influences led Michael to become a business and health care attorney in Dallas, and Brad to do the same in New Orleans. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina displaced Brad and his family. With change comes opportunity, and in 2006, Brad and his family moved to Dallas and he began working with Michael.

They soon discovered that they worked well together. Their personalities, skills, work ethic, and interests clicked. They shared a common view of how business law should work: It should be transparent, creative, and focused on the client’s best interests. And, in a world where lawyers often seemed to make simple matters overly complex, they felt that it was their job to create simplicity.

Today, ByrdAdatto is a growing practice with locations in Dallas and Chicago. ByrdAdatto serves clients in many industries, with a heavy focus on the health care industry. The firm’s attorneys have become a national voice, routinely lecturing throughout the country at medical, dental, and legal conferences. Inspired by the reach of training and education provided at conferences, Michael and Brad launched the Legal 123s With ByrdAdatto podcast to help simplify complicated issues that come with owning a successful business. ByrdAdatto eliminates inefficiencies often associated with law firms and instead offers creative solutions while striving to make the law accessible and easy to understand.

As a network of over 20 clinics in 15 states, ensuring that our clinics comply with state and federal regulations with regards to CPOM is critical. ByrdAdatto has been an incredible partner, helping us navigate all the state-level intricacies, stay clear of issues not picked up by generalist firms who used to represent many of our clinics, and keep CPP out of trouble. We have been extremely privileged to work with their team and could not recommend a better counsel in this industry.

ByrdAdatto University

ByrdAdatto believes that education and training build the best foundation for excellence. ByrdAdatto University (BAU) was founded in 2017 as a response to the gap we saw between continuing legal education (CLE) offerings and what our attorneys needed to effectively represent clients. BAU embodies our commitment to our core values of Communicate, Compete, and Create. We have since expanded BAU to our Access+ members, including online courses and training.
