OFW Law’s senior counsel and former chairman Marshall Matz is featured in the University of Louisville, Louis D. Brandeis School of Law’s News honoring his remarkable career following his graduation from law school. OFW Law celebrates Marshall’s devotion to his clients and practices. We applaud Marshall’s service to the industry, and we are grateful for Marshall’s continuing advocacy at OFW Law.
Last year, Marshall Matz stepped down as Chairman of the law firm of Olsson Frank Weeda (OFW Law) in Washington, D.C. after a wide-ranging and fulfilling career, one he hardly foresaw. “I always assumed I would be a trial lawyer,” Matz said, “as that was what I wanted to do.” But instead of entering the field of trial practice the 1971 graduate of the University of Louisville Law School instead pursued a rewarding and rich career as a counsel and lobbyist in the Senate, crafting much of the legislation and standards that have been adapted over the years to form the basis of domestic and global food programs.
Matz’s career took him places he never expected. Born in Massachusetts, and raised in Connecticut, he confesses to having been a less than diligent student at UConn before coming to Louisville, where the School of Law gave him the tools he needed to develop and mature. As he says, “It was the perfect law school for me. I loved UofL and I applied myself when I was there.”
