Career
Over his more than 20 years of practicing law, Matthew has generated an impressive list of victories for both plaintiffs and defendants in intellectual property and complex commercial cases.
On the plaintiff’s side, Matthew’s wins as lead trial counsel include a $49M verdict in an intellectual property dispute that was one of the twenty largest jury verdicts in the country in 2018, as well as the entry of a rare permanent injunction following a successful jury trial in a patent infringement case. On the defense side, Matthew led trial teams that secured take-nothing judgments protecting our clients from hundreds of millions of dollars in claims, including wins in a $65M patent infringement case, a $35M securities fraud case, and a $10M breach of fiduciary duty case.
Matthew has built a reputation for knowing how to simplify issues in complicated or emotionally charged cases. When clients hire Matthew, they are met with a unique combination of client service, courtroom accomplishment and technical proficiency, resulting in a high degree of trust and loyalty. As a result, he has been recognized in Chambers USA (2025-2026), The Best Lawyers in America (2022-2026), Lawdragon 500 (2026), and The Legal 500 (2018-2023), among numerous other publications.
