Matthew Tripolitsiotis

Work Highlights

Matt specializes in handling a client’s most complex matters. He served as a court-appointed member of the Steering Committee prosecuting multidistrict litigation on behalf of purchasers forced to overpay for life-saving EpiPens. His work in that matter led to settlements of more than $600 million for his EpiPen clients. He has also been a core member of the legal team on some of the nation’s highest-profile matters. Most notably, these matters included recouping $4 billion for American Express from Visa and MasterCard—the largest ever settlement for a single antitrust plaintiff—and representing a nationwide consumer class against Volkswagen based on the installation of an emissions testing defeat device, which resulted in a partial settlement valued at approximately $15 billion.

In addition to these litigations, Matt has counseled his clients in a wide variety of subject matters, including antitrust, contract, corporate governance, class action, entertainment, land use/real estate, intellectual property, securities, and estate litigation.

Matt is recognized as a leading New York Antitrust practitioner by Chambers USA, which quoted a client as saying, “Matt is extremely sharp, responsive and shows an impressive attention to detail.”

Matt’s writing on the compact clause of the Constitution was published in the Yale Law & Policy Review and has been cited as authority by multiple courts. In addition to constitutional law, Matt’s academic interests include political science, mediation, and land use. He also sits on a local Zoning Board of Appeals.
