Boies Schiller Flexner LLP

Chairman and Managing Partner

Matthew is the Chairman of Boies Schiller Flexner, a Managing Partner, and a member of the firm’s Executive Committee. His practice focuses on government and internal investigations, white collar defense, regulatory compliance, and complex civil litigation. A “buttoned-up assassin in the courtroom” praised for his “laser-like focus and precision,” Matthew has a reputation for “possessing a consistent ability to take knotty issues and distilling them to their essence” (Forbes, December 2014). He has first-chaired numerous jury and non-jury trials and personally argued more than a dozen federal appeals.

From 2005 to 2015, Matthew was a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York. As a senior member of that office’s Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, he led a number of high-profile matters, including the investigations and deferred prosecution agreements with JPMorgan and Commerzbank AG on BSA/AML charges; the investigation and prosecutions related to the “London Whale” trades; and all aspects of the government’s investigation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities. He conducted investigations in parallel with the SEC, CFTC, OCC, Federal Reserve Board, FinCEN, OFAC, and PCAOB; state Attorneys General and other regulators, such as the New York State Department of Financial Services; and foreign regulators and law enforcement, such as the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority.
