A gifted commercial litigator, Matt Pavlides is driven by a desire to help clients in an efficient, responsible fashion “so they can get back to doing what they want to do with their lives.” Matt’s approach to practicing law is defined by his commitment to analyzing the big picture in order to fully understand each component of a case. He strives to place his clients in the best possible position, and keep them fully informed at each step of the way. He prides himself on his accessibility to his clients.

With broad-based experience in business disputes, complex commercial and construction litigation, Matt has worked with clients on matters ranging from large commercial matters to much smaller personal ones, settling disputes through mediation, arbitration, and litigation. He represents general contractors, subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, engineering firms, and business owners in a wide range of construction-related projects. Matt understands the complexities of the construction industry, where many parties form their working relationships through a variety of intricate contracts.

Matt has broad experience in litigation as well as mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) matters in Maryland, D.C., Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, and other jurisdictions across the country. Most recently, Matt was called upon to represent a general contractor in defense of a multi-million dollar claim for construction deficiencies in Florida; a global privately held company’s chief executive officer in a shareholder litigation matter in the District of Columbia; and a local private company in a shareholder action and counterclaim in Montgomery County, Maryland.
