Mike Cappel is a partner at Keating Muething & Klekamp, where his practice is concentrated in the area of litigation, with a focus on business and commercial litigation, general civil litigation, personal injury litigation, professional negligence, and appellate practice. He also has experience in personal injury litigation, wrongful death litigation, employer intentional tort litigation, real estate and construction litigation, and environmental litigation.

He has represented private companies, public companies, financial institutions, and individuals in a variety of legal matters, including corporate and partnership disputes, zoning disputes, fraud claims, breach of contract claims, and insurance disputes. Mike has litigated cases within federal and state courts, state appellate courts, and private and court-sponsored mediation and arbitration throughout the country, including Ohio, Kentucky, New York, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas.

Mike is very involved with neighborhood redevelopment initiatives in Cincinnati, serving as the president of the College Hill Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (CHCURC) since 2008, as College Hill’s representative to Cincinnati Neighborhood Business Districts United since 2008, a board member for HomeBase (formerly the Community Development Corporations Association of Greater Cincinnati) since 2015, a board member on the Cincinnati Neighborhood Business Districts United since 2016, and appointed by Mayor Cranley and approved by Cincinnati’s City Council to serve on the City of Cincinnati’s Community Development Advisory Board since 2015 and serve on the City of Cincinnati’s Economic Inclusion Advisory Council since 2016.

As president of CHCURC, Mike has led the revitalization efforts of College Hill for the past 12 years.  Mike has successfully submitted applications for CHCURC to be awarded more than $2.5 million in Neighborhood Business District Improvement Program grants for redevelopment projects in our business district (building acquisition and redevelopment, parking lot improvements, and façade improvements), has successfully worked with the City of Cincinnati on $4 million in land acquisition and demolition projects in College Hill to create a 7.5 acre development opportunity at Hamilton and North Bend and a 2.5 acre development opportunity at Hamilton and Marlowe, and successfully led a capital campaigns for CHCURC to purchase and renovate buildings in College Hill’s business district. CHCURC partnered with Model Group and Episcopal Retirement Homes on Marlowe Court, a $11.1 million mixed-use development at the 2.5 acre development opportunity at Hamilton and Marlowe that was completed in 2017, and working with Pennrose and D-HAS on College Hill Station, a $40 million mixed-use development at the 7.5 acre development opportunity at Hamilton and North Bend, which will break ground in 2019/early 2020. CHCURC has now purchased 23 buildings in the College Hill business district in various stages of redevelopment, landing the first new tenant for CHCURC in Brink Brewing Co. in 2017, and Tortilleria Garcia and Kiki in 2019. 

Prior to joining KMK in 2007, Mike served as a law clerk in the Ohio First District Court of Appeals.
