Matt’s practice focuses primarily on private equity and sponsor-backed mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, both domestically and abroad, across a wide variety of industries, including healthcare, education, manufacturing, and professional services.

Matt is a transactional attorney in the Chicago office of Winston & Strawn LLP. He has nearly a decade of experience in private equity transactions on both the buy-side and the sell-side, from platform acquisitions, to add-ons and integrations, to exits, including through full-scale auction processes. Areas of specialization include complex equity capitalization structuring, funds flows and waterfalls, Matt takes pragmatic, solution-oriented and at times a creative approach to the practice of law, informed by his nontraditional background in the fine arts and high-level math, with a focus on getting deals done on schedule and on market terms.
