Litigation and Employment & Labor Expert

We have used Matt for years on various Litigation and Employment matters and have found him to be very professional and always delivers great advice and council. I would highly recommend him.

Skilled, diligent, and creative

I have obtained legal advice and representation from Mr. Cairone with respect to contract negotiations, litigation (including trial), and settlements both in litigation and in the context of a dispute that was not litigated. Mr. Cairone is a skilled litigator and counselor, and an excellent trial l...awyer who knows the law and thinks well on his feet. He sees complex legal situations in their full contexts, and is adept at weighing all considerations that matter to a client when explaining client choices and making recommendations. He doesn't guess. His negotiations are informed by his careful analyses of what matters to each side, and he has a real talent for weighing tradeoffs and employing creative solutions to get the best outcomes for his clients.

Outstanding Legal Support

Matt Cairone is among the best. I have worked with Matt since 2003. In this time he has acted as a General Counsel and board member to my company. He has also advised my company and me personally on matters of corporate law including contracts, mergers and acquisitions, training and advising on di...sputes. Matt is experienced, straightforward and responsive. He gets my highest recommendation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
