About Matthew
Matthew Morris builds a legal profile that combines formal tax training with a broader humanistic education. He holds degrees in law and the humanities and practices in Massachusetts. His background in languages and literature sits alongside advanced tax study, shaping how he approaches complex legal questions.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Russian Language and Literature from Brown University and went on to complete a Master of Arts in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Stanford University. He then turned to law, receiving a J.D. from the University of Maine School of Law before completing an LL.M. in Tax at Boston University School of Law. Those academic milestones span the liberal arts and the technical demands of tax law.
His work life centers in Massachusetts, where he is an attorney with Sherin and Lodgen LLP. At the firm he handles matters that draw on his graduate tax training and his earlier legal education. Colleagues describe him as methodical; clients see an attorney who organizes complicated information into practical options. He maintains active involvement in professional associations and bar-related activities.
The LL.M. in Tax informs the core of his practice. He advises on federal and state tax questions, counsels clients on transactional tax considerations, and responds to contentious tax matters. He approaches tax problems by breaking them into discrete legal and financial issues, then assessing statutory, regulatory and administrative routes. His practice demands attention to detail and procedural care, elements he emphasizes in client work.
Morris’s studies in Russian and Slavic literatures feed a different skill set. They reinforced close reading, cultural awareness and research habits that translate to legal analysis. Those competencies can matter in cross-border or multilingual contexts, and they influence how he frames legal arguments and drafts technical documents.
He keeps a steady presence in the Massachusetts bar and remains active in professional circles. He works from Sherin and Lodgen LLP, where he handles tax-related legal matters for a range of clients. He currently focuses on tax law matters at Sherin and Lodgen LLP in Massachusetts.
