Matthew B. Hutchinson

Matt Hutchinson has practiced real estate and business law in Park City since 2003. His practice is transactional: buying, selling, leasing, building, and financing property in Park City and Utah’s mountain resort communities, and forming and running the businesses that own it.

Matt represents buyers and sellers of homes, lots, and resort condominiums throughout the area, including Old Town, Deer Valley, Deer Crest, Promontory, Tuhaye, Red Ledges, the Colony, Wolf Creek Ranch, Wasatch Peaks, and Powder Haven. He reviews purchase contracts, title commitments, CC&Rs, and association documents, and works through the issues that come up before closing, such as easements, encroachments, and title exceptions. He also handles commercial purchases and sales and retail, office, restaurant, and ground leases.

Matt drafts and negotiates construction agreements, including AIA forms, for owners and contractors on custom homes and commercial projects, and advises clients on change orders, payment, and closeout.

For businesses, Matt forms LLCs, corporations, and partnerships, drafts operating and shareholder agreements, and handles membership interest transfers, buyouts, asset sales, and restructurings. He represents lenders on loan documents and defaults, and serves as registered agent for hundreds of Utah entities.

Matt advises homeowners and condominium associations on governance, declarations and amendments, collections, and enforcement. He also advises brokers and brokerages on agency, commission, and compliance questions, and has served as legal counsel to the Park City Board of REALTORS® since 2016.

Matt has been certified by the Utah Division of Real Estate since 2016 to teach continuing education for real estate agents and brokers, and teaches classes for the Park City Board of REALTORS. He has also taught continuing legal education seminars for lawyers on real estate transactions and real estate financing.

Outside the office, Matt skis, mountain bikes, travels, and spends time with his family.
