Matt Teague

Matt Teague started his journey at Beasley Allen in 2011. He is currently helping lead the charge in the firm’s talc and hair relaxer litigation. 

A second-generation lawyer, Matt grew up watching his father, Barry Teague, successfully practice law in courtrooms across Alabama. Matt found that same work ethic and dedication to serving clients amongst the lawyers and staff here. Capitalizing on Beasley Allen’s nationwide practice, Matt has served clients in all 50 states. 

Throughout his career, Matt has stood up for people harmed by dangerous drugs and medical devices and has a strong track record in high-stakes cases. He works closely with clients and has served on several successful trial teams in the fight for justice, playing a key role in the Testosterone Replacement Therapy litigation, serving on the Plaintiff Steering Committee, and representing men who suffered serious cardiovascular health issues after using heavily marketed testosterone-boosting drugs. His courtroom victories include a $72.6 million verdict for 3 women who developed breast cancer after using hormone replacement therapy drugs and followed that just a few months later with a second jury verdict awarding $5.1 million to a client in Utah. He also helped secure over $140 million in compensatory and punitive damages in the first bellwether trial of the Testosterone Therapy Litigation.

Outside the courtroom, Matt is involved in several professional organizations, including the Alabama State Bar, the Birmingham Bar Association, and the American Association for Justice. He previously served two terms on the Birmingham Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Executive Committee and chaired continuing legal education events for the BBA’s Court Liaison Committee.

Matt and his wife, Erin, are the proud parents of four children—Meagher, Miller, Butler, and Garner. In his free time, Matt enjoys spending time with his family and staying active in his community by volunteering his time in youth sports and local charity events. 

Education

Matt earned his law degree from Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law in 2002 and his undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama in 1998. 

While at Alabama, he was a proud member of the Crimson Tide football team, playing under legendary Hall of Fame coach Gene Stallings, Dabo Swinney and Bruce Arians. He was also named to the Academic All-SEC team in 1996.
