Matthew K Lavelle

I engaged Matt LaVelle to help negotiate a successful conclusion to a complex business problem. Some of our family trusts made equity investments and also were leaders to an operating business, which is very heavily regulated. The business performed poorly. Matt was able to identify a buyer for th...e business who planned to re-purpose the main asset. The relationship was complex because we had a business operator, landlord and other investors involved. He was able to negotiate a very successful conclusion, even though the landlord turned hostile and the business operator ended up with little to show from the arrangement. Without Matt's personal minute-to-minute attention and his sensitivity to all nuances for the various parties involved, this transaction could never have come together. The end result was a very good outcome for the landlord, staff, customers, the new business owner/operator, and all things considered, for us. The former business operator achieved a graceful exit without liability or potential legal action. Matt truly negotiated a win, win, win arrangement for all parties. I would heartily recommend Matt to assist with complex litigation and sensitive negotiations. He is bright, capable, experienced and results oriented. He is 5 stars in my book.
