General Counsel

Mike Raeber is a critical member of the senior administration, directing the Office of Legal Affairs and serving as chief legal counsel for the University and its Athletic Association. Among his many significant responsibilities, he acts as the primary liaison on legal matters with the Office of the President, the Board of Regents, and the Office of the Attorney General.

“Mike is an exceptional lawyer, a gifted problem-solver, and a trusted advisor. Since his arrival in early 2014, this institution has relied heavily on his sound guidance. Issues that are complex, weighty, and involve the interests of the University or the Athletic Association—those are the issues where Mike thrives and where his value to UGA is most apparent.”
