Profile
Matthew Hinshaw focuses on structuring economic development incentive packages and negotiating site selection projects. Matthew also represents a variety of clients in general corporate and tax matters and assists nonprofit entities with tax and governance issues. He helps clients form new companies, negotiate tax incentive packages, close deals, draft legislation, manage and grow operations, and manage their relationships with local and state government officials.
Matthew has been privileged to represent clients on many of the highest profile economic development deals over the last decade. For example, in 2022, Matthew represented the Vietnamese startup Vinfast, which announced an EV and battery manufacturing campus outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, that is projected to create 6,000 jobs. He also assisted Panasonic with its first stand-alone battery manufacturing facility outside of Kansas City, Kansas, which is projected to create 4,000 jobs. In addition, Matthew was privileged to represent clients on two of Site Selection magazine’s “Top 10 Business Deals in North America” for 2014 and 2018 – one of very few lawyers in the country to be able to make that claim.
Prior to law school, Matthew practiced as a CPA with Ernst & Young where he served primarily bank, insurance company and hedge fund clients through tax return preparation, audit of tax provisions, and consulting engagements.
