Matt represented large appraisal petitioners in the consolidated fiduciary duty and appraisal action styled In re Dole Food Co., Inc. Stockholder Litigation/In re Appraisal of Dole Food Company, Inc.  There, the Delaware Court of Chancery found fraud and breaches of the duty of loyalty that led to post-trial damages of nearly $150 million.

In Cygnus Opportunity Fund, LLC v. Washington Prime Group, LLC, Matt presented written and oral arguments that led to a published opinion denying two motions to dismiss.  That lawsuit is pending.

Matt represented a special litigation committee in In re Baker Hughes, a GE Company, Derivative Litigation, which led to new law in that area.  Matt has also represented several litigation demand review committees.

Before coming to BFA, Matt spent more than a decade at a Delaware corporate and business law boutique focusing on high stakes commercial litigation.  There, he represented plaintiffs and defendants, along with appraisal petitioners and respondents.

Matt has extensive experience with valuation and industry experts.  He co-wrote an article addressing the relationship between appraisal fair value and fiduciary duty fair price.  The article—“Fair Price for Delaware Fiduciary Actions Can Exceed Appraisal Fair Value”—was published in the Business Valuation Review and appeared on the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance.
