Matthew R. McBride

My clients see me as their trusted business advisor, not just as their lawyer.

My Approach

I primarily represent financial institutions and other commercial enterprises with matters related to business disputes. The highlights of my workday come from listening to my clients as they share their problems and concerns with me, and then establishing the best approach for assisting them in meeting their objectives and goals. My clients trust my skills in navigating the legal system and its many nuances, allowing them to maintain focused on running and growing their business. In addition to my role as litigator, I serve as an advocate and trusted business advisor as outside general counsel to many clients. I value and appreciate the trust and confidence my clients have in me and appreciate every day the opportunity to play such an important role in the success of their businesses.

When I’m not at work advocating for my clients, I enjoy spending time with my family. I currently serve on the Board of Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A., and previously served as a Board member from 2007-2013 and 2015-2018, as well as the Litigation Department Practice Group Leader from 2018-2020.

A Groundbreaking Moment in My Career

Before joining Winthrop & Weinstine in 2000, I practiced, for several years, with a small general practice firm where I worked in many areas of the law, embracing the difficult undertakings of litigating large commercial cases, small personal injury matters, and everything in between. I’m grateful for the education and experience I gained in the smaller firm, because it’s where I learned how to issue-spot and get things done.
