    Matthew Schwartz, Chairman, Boies Schiller Flexner

    “Even if someone is tried and acquitted, and the jury finds them to be not guilty, the stories of their arrest and charges, sometimes even the press release from the government, lives on the internet forever. And the fact of those allegations living on can be incredibly damaging. Every future employer or counterparty…is going to dig that up. And so, if the other side of the story is not at least presented to contextualize the allegations, then it puts a client at a real disadvantage.”   Matthew Schwartz is the new Chairman of Boies Schiller, where he’s also a managing partner and a member of the firm’s Executive Committee. Called a “buttoned-up assassin in the courtroom” by Forbes, Matt joined Boies Schiller after a 10-year stint as a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, where he dealt with high-profile cases such as the government’s investigation of Bernie Madoff. Since joining the firm, Matt has represented clients such as the Hollywood production company Red Granite Pictures as well as the fantasy sports company DraftKings.   This week on The Intersection, Matt talks with Mike and Sallie about his experiences working on the Madoff case, his new leadership role, the challenges facing law firms, how media coverage affects jury selection, and how the private sector compares with the government with regards to communicating with the press.    (The Intersection is hosted by Mike Sitrick and Sallie Hofmeister of Sitrick And Company, a PR firm with offices in LA, NY, and Washington DC. Mike and Sallie have a combined 100 plus years of experience working in journalism and public relations.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
