Matthew Sferrazza Available Now

I am a senior business attorney with over 12 years of experience, including time with the SEC and AmLaw 100 law firms in New York and California. Throughout my career, I have advised on matters involving more than $50 billion. My clients are typically high-growth companies and their investors. I provide guidance throughout the entire lifecycle of a corporation, from formation to exit, with a particular focus on IPOs and the period that follows. I help clients navigate U.S. securities laws and related state laws in connection with public and private securities offerings, SEC compliance, NYSE and Nasdaq compliance, regulatory matters, strategic planning, public and private M&A, significant transactions, and investigations. Additionally, I have experience advising on fund formation, capital deployments, fund governance, and control contests through investor activism. I work closely with clients and other service providers to break down complex issues into manageable decisions, offering real-time clarity on the risks and benefits of business choices, even in fast-paced situations. My practice spans a variety of industries, including financial services, life sciences, real estate, hospitality, entertainment, medical devices, energy, funds, aerospace and defense, shipping, trade, manufacturing, and more. I advise companies ranging from startups to multi-billion-dollar enterprises, as well as investors ranging from individual angels to funds managing billions of dollars with complex structures. I am the founding president and a board member of Bruin Angels, UCLA's alumni network dedicated to connecting accredited angel investors with promising Bruin-led startups. Before joining the firm, I participated in the SEC Honors Program at the New York Regional Office, Asset Management Unit, and served as a Teach For America Corps Member in Los Angeles, teaching 6th grade Math and English.
