Background
Trevor founded Mattice Legal in 2020. His practice focuses on business and entertainment law. Trevor works primarily with entertainment and media companies, as well as talent, throughout North America. This combination allows him to have a unique perspective that translates to practical and effective representation. He is known for his responsiveness and works closely with clients to advise on all matters relating to their businesses or careers.
After law school, Trevor worked for a real estate and business firm in New York City where he handled residential and commercial property transactions and related business matters. From there, he transitioned to an in-house counsel position for a publicly-traded entertainment and media company with offices in New York City and Los Angeles. For several years, he learned from some of the brightest and most well-respected attorneys in the industry, each of whom had their own specialties (i.e., tax, labor and employment, mergers and acquisitions, corporate governance, commercial transactions, intellectual property, etc.). As a result, Trevor developed a diverse skill-set that forms the basis for his legal and business affairs expertise today.
In 2018, Trevor moved to Buffalo and began working for one of the largest law firms in the area, dealing exclusively with business law matters.
