A recognized deal maker with more than a decade of experience, Matt advises private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies throughout the full life cycle of their investments, helping clients align deal terms with long-term investor objectives, maintain deal momentum and achieve favorable outcomes.

“We’re excited to welcome Matt to the team,” said Corporate Co-Chair Kevin Humphries. “His extensive experience in both transactions and fund formation broadens the services we provide and enhances our ability to meet the evolving needs of our clients, particularly those pursuing sophisticated investment strategies.”

“I’m excited to be joining Benesch and to be part of the firm’s historic growth in the private equity space in Columbus and nationwide,” said Matt. “The firm’s position within the private equity market and its collegial culture stood out to me, and I look forward to continuing to grow the practice.”

In his practice, Matt represents clients in sponsor-backed mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, including platform acquisitions, add-on transactions and sell-side auction processes. He also advises on specialized fund formations, with substantial experience in complex equity capitalization structures, funds flows and waterfalls. His experience spans a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, education, manufacturing and professional services.
