Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin has launched a new law firm, Platkin LLP, alongside a group of senior litigators from the state attorney general’s office. The firm will be headquartered in New Jersey and will focus on complex civil litigation, impact cases, and investigations in areas such as consumer protection, antitrust, technology accountability, gun violence prevention, and democracy protection.
Platkin stated that the firm will “use the law to drive meaningful change in the face of injustice,” with an aim to hold “harmful actors accountable.”
Platkin served as New Jersey’s attorney general from 2022 to 2026 and was chief counsel to Governor Phil Murphy between 2018 and 2020. He holds degrees from Stanford University and Stanford Law School. Currently, he is a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the Center for Law and Public Trust at NYU Law School and previously worked as a partner at Lowenstein.
The founding team at Platkin LLP includes attorneys with backgrounds both in government service and private practice, bringing additional experience from their time at the New Jersey attorney general’s office.
