Matthew advises companies across a range of industries on antitrust risk, merger strategy, and litigation. He is frequently brought in for matters that sit at the intersection of competition law and intellectual property, where success turns on combining a rigorous command of antitrust doctrine with practical IP and business strategy.

Matthew has served as lead non-partner counsel on matters involving allegations of bundled rebates, tying, price-fixing, predatory pricing, and exclusive dealing, often coupled with patent or other IP issues, helping secure early dismissals of antitrust claims and narrowing disputes before costly merits discovery. He also had success obtaining dismissal at the pleading stage in monopolization and attempted monopolization cases for companies in IP-intensive and commoditized markets.

Matthew has substantial experience with merger reviews and regulatory proceedings, including advising on second-request investigations and crafting advocacy that positions transactions for efficient clearance. He also counsels clients on compliance and antitrust risk in fast-moving commercial settings, including time-sensitive deal and litigation contexts.

His experience cuts across a wide swath of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical devices, silicon chip design, aeronautics, insurance brokerage, upstream and downstream oil & gas industries, several parts of the construction supply chain, the dairy industry, consumer retail food products, the fashion industry, the film industry, among many others.

Before entering private practice, Matthew clerked for the Hon. Jerry E. Smith on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and served in the National Criminal Enforcement Section (now Washington Criminal I) of the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division. He earned his J.D. from Columbia Law School, where he received multiple academic honors and served as Executive Editor of the Columbia Journal of Law & Social Problems.
