Jordan Matthews, a partner at Weinberg Gonser LLP, was lead counsel in landmark litigation against Steve Wynn, representing the primary witness in a Wall Street Journal exposé on Wynn’s sexual misconduct. He faced aggressive defense tactics from Wynn for five years, particularly regarding wrongful termination claims by Angelica Limcaco related to an alleged rape incident. Matthews filed a civil RICO case against Wynn Resorts and Wynn, coinciding with a Department of Justice lawsuit alleging violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). He argued that Wynn attempted to influence the Trump Administration to protect his business interests through a $9-million lobbying effort. He presented the RICO case to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in December 2022, drawing significant media attention.
