Background

About Matthew Brunicardi

I’m a rising 3L J.D. candidate at SMU Dedman School of Law with a strong interest in corporate, intellectual property, and real estate law. I’m particularly drawn to matters involving M&A, capital markets, and IP strategy, where business and law intersect to shape innovation and growth. While I am focused on building a career in the big law sector, I remain deeply committed to advancing immigration and economic justice. As a practicing attorney, I intend to dedicate time to pro bono service supporting individuals and communities in need. Before law school, I gained several years of professional experience across the corporate, public relations, and advertising industries. My work included managing IP asset development, supporting brand acquisitions and integrations, and coordinating strategic communications in complex business environments—foundational experience that now informs my legal interests in transactional and regulatory practice.
