Matthew Burke, a seasoned federal prosecutor, has recently taken a pivotal role as the head of internal investigations at Scale LLP, an office-free law firm. Burke’s appointment at Scale commenced on May 1st, following his departure from the Department of Justice earlier this year. His exit was prompted by his involvement with former special counsel Jack Smith’s team, investigating former President Donald Trump’s alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack.
Burke’s career trajectory is noteworthy, having been part of Smith’s team in 2022 that focused on scrutinizing Trump’s role in attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. His recruitment by Scale LLP marks a significant shift from his high-profile government role to embracing the innovative landscape of remote work that the firm offers.
Scale LLP, known for its unique office-free environment, is a pioneer in adapting to new law firm operational models. Burke’s leadership in internal investigations at Scale is anticipated to leverage his extensive prosecutorial experience, aligning with the firm’s ethos of flexibility and cutting-edge legal practices.
