About Michael
Michael Swensen earned his law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2012 after completing undergraduate studies in political science at the University of Utah in 2009. He arrived at law school after a concentrated interest in public policy and regulatory issues. The academic record shows a steady progression from a political science undergraduate curriculum into formal legal training.
After law school, Swensen began his professional career in an industry role. In 2012 he served as an Associate Compliance Enforcement Analyst at the Western Electricity Coordinating Council. In that position he worked on compliance and enforcement processes tied to regional reliability standards. The role exposed him to regulatory procedures and the interplay between utilities, regulators, and enforcement bodies.
By 2014 Swensen had moved into private practice. He joined Cannon Law Associates as a lawyer and continued to practice in Utah. His work in firm settings built on the regulatory experience he gained earlier, and he handled matters that required familiarity with state law and administrative procedures. Colleagues describe him as methodical; he approaches fact patterns and regulatory requirements in a step-by-step manner.
Swensen is licensed to practice in Utah. He blends experience from a regional electric reliability organization with courtroom and client-side matters at the firm level. That background gives him a practical perspective on how rules are written and how they are enforced. He has continued to work at Cannon Law Associates since joining the firm, taking on a range of assignments for clients in the state.
Outside of the specifics of his work history, Swensen’s profile is one of steady progression from undergraduate studies in political science to a law degree and then into practice that intersects regulatory and private-sector concerns. His resume reflects a transition from compliance-focused work to client representation at a local firm. He currently practices at Cannon Law Associates, representing clients in matters arising under Utah law.
