Matthew Jedreski
Counsel
Matt Jedreski is a litigator and employment attorney. While his practice centers on traditional employment matters - especially non-compete, single-plaintiff, and trade secret disputes - Matt routinely advises and litigates in other areas, including commercial contracts, elections, securities fraud, Title IX, and challenging local/state laws. He has first-chaired trials in both state and federal court, and regularly represents clients in arbitration and appellate court.
As much as he loves litigating, Matt equally enjoys helping clients avoid litigation by updating them on ever-changing state and local employment laws, and exploring creative ways to improve the workplace and avoid conflict. He’s a member of the firm’s Artificial Intelligence group, in which he tracks and presents on the blossoming landscape of issues facing employers now and in the coming decade. Matt also enjoys a substantial pro bono practice, helping both individuals and organizations like the ACLU.
