Benchmark Litigation has named Burford Perry partner Matt Parks to its 40 & Under list of the nation’s most notable up-and-coming litigators.

To compile the list, Benchmark Litigation conducts interviews with litigators, dispute resolution specialists, and their clients to examine recent casework handled by law firms and provide their professional opinions on peers and practitioners within their jurisdiction or practice area.

The honor follows Matt’s recognition by the prestigious Chambers USA 2024 for his exceptional work in commercial litigation.

"Matt is a highly accomplished attorney, and well-deserving of these accolades,” said name partner Brent Perry. “His dedication to his clients makes him a potent adversary in the courtroom and out."

Among Matt’s recent victories is the court approval of a $1.9 million arbitration award the firm secured on behalf of a midstream energy and logistics provider in a contract dispute where the other party sought over $25 million in damages but was awarded nothing.
