In addition to his labor and employment practice, Matt represents clients on a wide-range of business litigation matters, including the enforcement of non-competition and non-solicitation agreements and claims for misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, and breach of fiduciary duty. In such matters, Matt frequently seeks and opposes temporary and permanent injunctive and other relief on behalf of his clients.
