Sidley Palo Alto partner, Matthew J. Dolan, has been named a “Top 40 Under 40” lawyer in California by the Daily Journal.
The publication highlighted Matt’s “substantial practice representing underwriters in securities class actions alleging violations of the Securities Act of 1933.” He was commended for his role in erecting “roadblocks to discourage state court filings,” forcing plaintiff lawyers to bring cases in federal court, where litigation dynamics favor defendants.
Matt maintains a broad-based securities litigation practice, focusing on the representation of corporate and individual clients in the technology and life sciences industries in class action, shareholder derivative, and corporate governance litigation in state and federal courts in California, New York, and Delaware. He regularly represents public companies and individuals in matters involving the Securities and Exchange Commission and conducts internal investigations and counsels technology and life sciences companies on disclosure issues.
