Matt Wells Recognized as Venture Capital "Lawyer of the Year" in Salt Lake City by Best Lawyers

PR Newswire

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Matt Wells, a Salt Lake City-based partner in Mayer Brown's Emerging Companies & Venture Capital and Mergers & Acquisitions practices, has been selected by Best Lawyers as "Lawyer of the Year" in venture capital law in Salt Lake City.

This selection honors Mr. Wells for his work on behalf of Utah-based and national startups, venture capital firms, and entrepreneurs. Inclusion in Best Lawyers is based on a rigorous peer-review survey comprising more than 12.2 million confidential evaluations by top attorneys.

"It is gratifying to be recognized by Best Lawyers as 'Lawyer of the Year,' particularly because it is a selection made by my peers in the Utah legal community," said Mr. Wells. "Mayer Brown has fully committed to Salt Lake City, the technology market, and the emerging companies practice firmwide."

Mr. Wells is very active in Utah's vibrant technology community. Since opening the Salt Lake City office in early 2022, the office has grown to 13 partners. The Emerging Companies & Venture Capital practice is the cornerstone of the office, advising companies and the investors that fund them on capital markets, corporate & securities, mergers & acquisitions, and fund formation matters.

This is the fifth time Mr. Wells has received a Best Lawyers "Lawyer of the Year" recognition in Salt Lake City—four times for Venture Capital Law (2012, 2018, 2020 and 2023) and once for M&A Law (2019). He has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America in Corporate Law, Mergers and Acquisitions Law, Venture Capital Law since 2008.
