Matthew Pierce

Matthew has been writing software to solve unique problems for over 30 years. This practice has taught him that planning and attention to detail are the keys to success. After all, a single misplaced semicolon can bring all the code to a screeching halt. Now back at Impact after a hiatus spent rebuilding his home and family businesses on Sanibel Island, he brings that same precision to his current role leading software architecture and development, advancing Impact’s existing product offerings in step with the latest technology and managing our internal development team.

Matthew began his career in litigation support more than two decades ago. He was the founder of a nationwide litigation support consulting firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., and logged more than 350 weeks of courtroom experience in both state and federal courts across the U.S. He designed the first electronic brief submitted to the U.S. Court of Claims and has long created custom applications to solve a variety of common, and unique, trial challenges. His earlier work at Impact produced the software behind our DepoX™ transcript markup service, ExhibitMarker™, and SlideScribe™ products.

His expertise has been relied on by a number of multinational corporations and law firms including Cravath Swaine & Moore; Boies Schiller & Flexner; Weil, Gotshal & Manges; Johnson & Johnson; Pfizer; NCR; and American Express. Some notable cases that utilized Matthew’s expertise include Vivendi Universal, S.A. securities litigation, Barnes & Noble v. Yucaipa, and Compuware v. IBM. Matthew was also instrumental in the international case of Republic of Guyana v. Republic of Suriname that resulted in the redrawing of the countries’ territorial boundaries.

With Matthew back on the team and focused on building what comes next, you can rest assured that his decades of experience and attention to detail will continue to serve our clients well.
