As the Practice Group Chair for PilieroMazza’s Litigation & Dispute Resolution Group and Co-Chair of the Firm’s False Claims Act and Audits & Investigations Team, his advocacy for government contractors and commercial businesses on a wide range of topics, across many industries, gives Matt a unique perspective on successful litigation strategies for achieving the best possible outcome for clients.

Matt has significant first-chair trial and appellate experience over a wide range of practice areas, including labor and employment; wage and hour disputes; business litigation, including business torts, unfair competition, trade secrets, and non-compete and non-solicitation disputes; shareholder direct and derivative litigation; securities fraud defense; government and private sector contracts; commercial transactions; and appeals. As Co-Chair for the firm’s False Claims Act and Audits & Investigations Team, Matt helps represent and counsel businesses involved in audits and investigations conducted by the Department of Justice and other federal and state regulators and on matters relating to the False Claims Act. Moreover, Matt has litigated cases in federal courts on behalf of tribes and tribally-owned entities, including the strategic assertion of sovereign immunity defenses. He is also among a small group of lawyers in the country who have represented a company in a successful appeal of a New York Stock Exchange delisting decision.
