Matthew Verdin focuses on defending clients in the technology and financial services sectors. He has a strong record of delivering wins on behalf of clients in class actions and complex litigation, particularly in privacy and consumer protection lawsuits. Matthew is particularly successful in securing dismissals at the pleadings stage. For example, he won dismissal at the pleadings stage of over a dozen wiretapping class actions involving the alleged use of website analytics tools to collect data about users’ website visits. He also advises companies on managing litigation risk under federal and state wiretapping laws.

Matthew is also dedicated to pro bono legal services. Recently, he helped a domestic violence survivor win a case in the California Court of Appeal. Matthew’s oral argument led to the court ordering renewal of his client’s restraining order just one day later.
