Matthew K. Hindman

Matthew Hindman is a member of the firm’s drafting team, focusing his practice on law firm formation, structure, and planning, counseling and documenting transactions for law-related businesses, and advising in the firm’s law firm dissolution practice.

Focusing on Law Firm Drafting

Mr. Hindman has been handling complex drafting projects and transactions for more than 25 years. As a member of the firm’s law firm drafting team, based in the firm’s Los Angeles office, Mr. Hindman brings that experience to the firm’s law firm drafting and development projects. The firm’s drafting team plans, develops, and drafts law firm partnership agreements, professional corporation documents, shareholder agreements, and law firm registration documents, including:

• Limited Liability Partnership agreements
• Professional Corporation articles of incorporation, bylaws, and shareholder agreements
• Law firm registration documents 
  • California Secretary of State
  • State Bar of California

As a member of our drafting team, Mr. Hindman also develops and documents law firm compensation systems, attorney promotion systems, and retirement systems, as well as law firm start-up planning and growth planning. He also handles drafting and development for transactions involving law-related businesses.

Our Drafting Team

Our drafting team draws on the firm’s extensive experience developing and documenting law firm governance documents and registration documents. Because we handle many drafting and updating projects for law firms each year, we have a unique perspective on what works and what doesn’t. While each firm is different—and we design our drafts specifically for each firm—this experience means we have practical experience in what to recommend for each client’s particular law firm situations.  

Our tailored drafting and development process—designed to capture the firm’s governance intent, advise and implement best practices, and document agreements in clear, concise, understandable language—guides our law firm clients through what could otherwise be the daunting task of planning and developing the right agreement for their firm’s present and future.

Mr. Hindman also draws on his years of experience handling real estate and other business transactions to assist in our law firm’s dissolution practice.
