About Matthew Parrish

For ten years, Matt has represented businesses large and small – from Fortune 500 companies to startups and individual entrepreneurs – in high-stakes commercial litigation in courts from Georgia to California to Nova Scotia, and points in between. Matt has represented clients in real estate disputes, debtor-creditor disputes, and business divorces, plus suits over government contracts, professional liability, employment issues, and product liability. A particular focus of Matt’s practice involves the representation of clients in all aspects of real estate development, including lenders, builders, developers, landlords, and tenants. Matt recently successfully represented a commercial real estate developer against a lender involving a disputed debt of $3 million. Matt also recently represented a major Atlanta student housing developer in a contract dispute regarding a set of parcels near Kennesaw State University. Matt has successfully litigated commercial landlord-tenant disputes, zoning disputes, and HOA issues, and he has fought and won cases involving business breakups with large real estate portfolios at stake.

In addition to real estate, Matt’s practice cuts across the largest industries in Atlanta, including the financial services, telecom, automotive, entertainment, and high tech manufacturing industries. Matt began his legal career at Jones Day, a global full-service law firm with over 2500 lawyers worldwide, litigating large-scale product liability cases in Georgia and Florida, in which Matt briefed and argued legal issues affecting manufacturers across the country. From there, Matt moved to Dow Lohnes, where he represented Cox Enterprises, an Atlanta-based media conglomerate with businesses and media properties nationwide.
