Matthew is a business lawyer who views clients as strategic partners. His own experience as an entrepreneur enables him to guide clients with practical, effective, and business-minded counsel. While his representation often begins when a company is merely an idea on the proverbial back of a napkin, he also frequently represents acquirers and targets in mergers and acquisitions in mid-market transactions ($50–100 million). Matthew has significant experience representing companies in other complex corporate transactions involving venture capital, private equity, securities rules and regulations, and corporate governance and disclosure. He was previously the Chair of the Emerging Companies and Venture Practice Group of an Am Law 200 firm, an adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design where he taught Business Regulations and Practices, and Chairman of the New York State Bar Association’s Business Organizations Committee.
