Legal Background
Mathew E. Hoffman is a litigator with over 30 years of experience handling complex commercial litigations, mediations, and arbitrations. He practices at both the trial and appellate level in the federal and state courts. Mat’s practice includes securities litigations and SEC investigations, FINRA and AAA arbitrations, breach of contract matters, discrimination claims, products liability, takeover litigation, estate and real estate litigation, employee breach of duty and trade secrets claims, as well as a specialty in fine arts litigation.
Mat has represented clients as varied as the National Basketball Association, La-Z-Boy, Pier 59 Studios, Hansel N Gretl Meats, the American Society of Travel Agents, Art Finance Partners and Kaufman Brothers. In one widely reported matter, Mat recovered in excess of $18 million for a former general counsel of a publicly listed company after a trial and a successful appeal.
While Mat can and does represent clients in hard fought litigations, he takes particular pride in the fact that clients look to him to find sound business solutions and resolutions to their disputes. He credits his years of service on the board of directors of a public corporation with sensitizing him to the practical decisions that clients face in litigation.
Mat is a member of the Commercial Litigation Section of the New York State Bar Association, for which he has spoken on Enforcement of Judgments. His cases have been featured on the front page of The New York Law Journal, in the New York Times and on ABC News, and Mat’s published works have been reprinted internationally.
Before joining BB&P, Mat was the head of litigation department at Todtman, Nachamie, Spizz and Johns, PC.
