Matt Lalli has tried dozens of cases in courts and arbitration tribunals throughout the United States. Licensed in Arizona, California, and Utah, Matt has a go-anywhere do-anything attitude so long as he can be in a courtroom advocating for his clients. He takes cases from inception through trial and appeal, but frequently takes over cases shortly before trial. (See Publications, below, “A Different Kind of Takeover.”) As one interviewee reported to Chambers USA in 2019, Matt “is incredibly organized and savvy, and he wins cases.” Matt is the practice group leader for the firm’s commercial litigation practice group. He also is a member of the firm’s ethics committee and loss prevention counsel.
