Whether a contract has been breached, confidential information has been taken, a joint venture is falling apart or a business has been injured, Matt DePerno's clients know that in his hands, litigation is not a misadventure that costs more than it's worth. He listens carefully to his clients and works to understand their objectives and expectations. He provides thoughtful and creative legal analysis, offers guidance informed by experience in his clients' industries, and looks for appropriate opportunities to practice the art of diplomacy and persuasion with opposing parties and counsel.
He also understands that sometimes there simply is no avoiding a fight. He litigates with an end point clearly in mind—the presentation of the client's case at trial. In his experience, maintaining that focus and discipline is the only efficient way to prepare a case for final disposition, and the best way to drive favorable business resolutions at the same time.
