Matthew Christensen Joins Sherwood & Robert!

Sherwood & Robert is thrilled to welcome Matthew Christensen, a seasoned real estate attorney with nearly two decades of experience in complex business transactions, commercial development, and regulatory law.

With a legal career focused on real estate since 2006, Matt has been advising clients across multiple industries such as construction, energy, telecom, and retail. His work covers a wide range of issues such as acquisitions, leasing and other dispositions, zoning, TIFs and other incentives, premises liability, brokerage law, and regulatory compliance.

Matt brings a unique blend of in-house and private practice experience. He spent nearly eight years as in-house counsel at QuikTrip Corporation, where he led legal efforts on major real estate and development initiatives nationwide. Prior to that, he was a partner at a leading Tulsa law firm, representing national developers, brokerages, and energy companies.

“I’m focused on delivering high-value counsel in real estate and deal-making—with a service-first mindset shaped by my years at QuikTrip,” he explained “Clients deserve clarity, responsiveness, and results. That’s exactly what we’re building here. This new chapter is about helping people grow—whether that’s securing a deal, navigating a tough negotiation, or making the right long-term decision,” said Christensen. “I’m proud to bring my experience to a firm that shares that same commitment to excellence and growth. “

Known for his strategic, results-driven counsel, Matthew helps clients manage risk and structure efficient transactions, that align with each client’s long-term business goals.

“Joining Sherwood & Robert isn’t just a professional decision—it’s a personal one,” added Christensen. “I’ve known Hugh Robert for over 30 years, and I trust him implicitly. That trust, combined with the firm’s integrity and vision, made it the right move to leave one of the greatest companies in America and return to private practice.”

Sherwood & Robert continues to grow with intention, building a team of attorneys who combine deep experience with personal dedication to client service. The firm is excited to welcome Matt Christensen to the team and looks forward to the expertise he brings to the firm’s expanding practice.
