In April, partner Matt Davis was honored as the UC Law SF Alumnus of the Year. A member of the class of ’89, Matt has taken a leadership role in representing UC Law SF pro bono in a lawsuit against the City and County of San Francisco to improve conditions in the Tenderloin. At the awards ceremony, Dean David Faigman saluted Matt’s philanthropic impact over the years as transformative. A former Deputy City Attorney for the City and County of San Francisco, Matt found his way to UC Law SF via the encouragement of Mayor Willie L. Brown ’58, who interceded in the admission process to help with his acceptance. Matt’s accomplishments in the courtroom have led to his receipt of numerous awards and membership the American Board of Trial Lawyers (ABOTA). In the community, Matt has been active in lobbying for safer streets for bicyclists and has spearheaded the firm’s efforts to distribute tens of thousands of safety lights to bike riders every year for the past eight years.
We congratulate Matt on this special and well deserved award.
