About Matthew
Biography
I am an attorney and partner in the employment litigation group at Smith, Gambrell & Russell, an Atlanta based law firm. I handle a variety of matters including employment discrimination and litigation, employment contracts, employee handbooks and policies, termination and separations, hiring practices, wage and hour issues, unemployment compensation and other aspects of the employer/employee relationship governed by state and federal laws. I regularly represent employers in employment litigation matters pending in state and federal courts. My employment law practice also includes extensive experience litigating matters concerning employment agreements and restrictive covenants (non-competition and non-solicitation agreements and the like) and other state law claims on behalf of employers and executives.
