Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin has launched Platkin LLP, a New Jersey-based law firm focused on civil litigation, investigations, and impact matters involving consumer protection, antitrust, technology accountability, gun violence prevention, and democracy protection. Platkin said in news coverage that the new firm is designed to take on “powerful corporations and institutions” and continue the kind of public-interest-oriented work that defined his time in office.

Platkin served as New Jersey’s attorney general from 2022 to 2026, building a national profile through multistate litigation, firearms enforcement, and cases involving major technology companies and public accountability. Before that, he served as chief counsel to Gov. Phil Murphy and earlier worked in private practice. He is also currently a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at NYU’s School of Law Center for Law and Public Trust. SL
