About Matthew Wagoner

I’m a commercial litigator who helps businesses resolve complex, high-stakes disputes—with clarity, speed, and impact. From precedent-setting cases to bet-the-company litigation, I’ve represented clients across industries in courtrooms, arbitrations, and behind closed doors when the stakes couldn’t be higher.Because of my experience working with clients through some of their most challenging times, I\'ve become a trusted advisor to entrepreneurs, executives, and growing companies. I provide strategic counsel on corporate governance, transactions, employment, real estate, intellectual property, and regulatory matters. My approach is business-first: practical, creative, and always aligned with my clients’ goals.I’ve built and led an award-winning boutique law firm, advised national and regional businesses in the energy and construction sectors, and served as Principal Law Clerk to a New York Supreme Court Justice in one of the most dynamic trial courts in the country.Today, I combine deep litigation experience with sharp business judgment to guide clients through risk, opportunity, and everything in between.I\'m passionate about working with entrepreneurs and credit any success I\'ve achieved to my parents, wife and kids.
