I’m told I excel at immersing myself in cases, staying on top of deadlines, communicating clearly and frequently with clients and making sure things keep moving forward expeditiously. I find it gratifying to help solve problems by digging into the facts of a complex matter to gain a thorough understanding of the issues and then plotting the best course forward to achieve the most optimal resolution possible for my clients.

contentpilot/introduction

Matt Sierawski focuses his practice on general commercial litigation and state and local tax issues. He represents a wide array of clients, ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies across various industries, including automotive, energy, hospitality and professional services. Clients and colleagues alike say they appreciate Matt’s tireless work ethic and client-oriented solutions. His outstanding research and writing skills greatly enhance his effectiveness as an attorney.&nbsp;

core/paragraph

The author of briefs dealing with myriad issues at every phase of the civil litigation process, Matt has argued both dispositive and non-dispositive motions in federal and state court. He is quite familiar with a variety of legal issues and statutes, including breach of contract (<em>e.g</em>., master supply agreements, purchase agreements, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, personal guarantees, commercial leases, etc.); shareholder oppression; the Michigan Corporate Income Tax, as well as Michigan Sales and Use Tax; and the American with Disabilities Act. Matt is also well-versed in the challenges posed by eDiscovery and the associated pitfalls that await the unwary. He combines his technological acumen with the practical needs of legal work and has managed multiple document reviews involving hundreds of gigabytes of data.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Taking a calm, measured and reasonable approach to litigation, Matt finds it more productive to build collegial relationships with opposing counsel rather than defaulting to bare-knuckle fighting. If the adverse side chooses to act aggressively, however, he is certainly well prepared to fight fire with fire. Matt enjoys collaborating with clients as a team member and finding innovative ways to resolve whatever problems they may face.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Prior to joining Warner, Matt worked for an international law firm in Detroit and served as a law clerk to the Hon. M. Casey Rodgers, U.S. District Court, in Pensacola, Florida. He was also a legal extern in the Violent &amp; Organized Crime Unit for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Detroit and a judicial intern for the Hon. Helene N. White, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Matt also spent seven years in the armed forces, which included a tour of duty in Kandahar, Afghanistan, as an operations intelligence analyst.&nbsp;
