About Matt Nelson

Matt Nelson is the Managing Attorney of Olive Branch Law, where his practice focuses on helping families and small business owners create estate plans that protect the people they love most. Matt guides clients through the often-overwhelming legal and financial decisions involved in planning for incapacity, death, and the preservation of family wealth. His approach is rooted in the belief that estate planning should be more than a set of documents. It should provide clarity, peace of mind, and a lasting legacy of care for future generations. Matt works closely with clients to ensure their plans evolve alongside their lives and continue to serve their families when they are needed most.

Before establishing Olive Branch Law, Matt spent nearly twelve years serving as in-house commercial and data privacy counsel for large companies around the world. His legal experience includes commercial contract negotiation, data privacy compliance, product development, and risk management. Today, he leverages the strategic planning, risk assessment, and problem-solving skills developed in the corporate world to help families and business owners make thoughtful decisions about their futures.

Matt's passion for estate planning grew from deeply personal experiences. Following the loss of his father, a subsequent health emergency of his own, and the adoption of his son, Matt saw firsthand how quickly families can find themselves needing the protection of a well-designed estate plan. He also experienced the frustration of receiving estate planning documents without the ongoing guidance and support his family needed. Those experiences inspired him to create a different kind of law practice, one centered on relationships rather than transactions.

At Olive Branch Law, clients receive flat-fee pricing, ongoing plan reviews, and trusted counsel focused not only on preserving financial assets, but also on protecting the stories, values, and legacy they hope to pass on. Matt earned his B.A. in Finance from Auburn University and both his J.D. and M.B.A. from The University of Alabama. Most importantly, he is a husband and father who understands that estate planning is ultimately an act of love for the people who matter most.
