Biography

Matthew Costello is an associate in Nixon Peabody’s Complex Commercial Disputes practice group. He is an experienced litigator and represents clients in complex litigation matters at both the state and federal level.

My focus

I represent clients in all stages of complex litigation and counsel clients in anticipation of litigation. In helping clients manage risk in navigating complex business matters, I strive to resolve disputes without resorting to litigation whenever possible. My focus is on efficiently helping clients achieve their desired results and business goals.

Looking ahead

As clients continue to resist rising litigation costs, I see continued efficiencies in the practice of law and an increased demand for alternative-fee arrangements. I also see continued use of virtual court proceedings.
