Areas of Focus

Labor Law
As prior counsel for one of the largest public agencies that manages and operates a variety of transportation and port facilities across the New York metropolitan area, Matt has achieved superior results in defending against New York State Labor Law §§200, 240(1), and 241(6) claims. This insight, combined with his years of experience litigating construction claims, enables him to advocate on behalf of property owners and contractors in this often high-exposure area of litigation.

Premises
Matt has represented some of the largest property owners in the state, and he has secured favorable outcomes for them in a variety of liability-related litigations. When a claim arises, Matt seeks to tender the defense and indemnification to our clients’ contractual partners, where appropriate, and assists clients in tendering the defense of claims under certificates of insurance.

Transportation
Matt has represented major rental and trucking companies in defeating complex transportation-related liability claims in both state and federal court.
