Ira Brad Matetsky (b. 1962)[1] is an American lawyer and Wikipedian.

Matetsky has practiced law since 1987, and has been a partner at Ganfer & Shore, a New York City business litigation and real estate law firm, since 2004, working in both their litigation practice group and their cooperative and condominium housing practice group. Before joining Ganfer & Shore, he was a litigation attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, after which he served as co-general counsel at Goya Foods, Inc. He is the editor-in-chief of the The Journal of In-Chambers Practice[2][3] and an editor of the Green Bag Almanac & Reader.[4][5] He has been cited as a legal expert by media sources including CNBC, Vanity Fair, The Washington Post, and The National Law Journal.[6][7][8][9][10]

He has been a guest blogger for Eugene Volokh's blog the Volokh Conspiracy.[11] Among the clients he has represented while working at Ganfer & Shore is Morris Talansky, on whose behalf he filed a suit against the Israeli satellite company ImageSat International in 2007.[12] The suit was dismissed the following year.[13]

On Wikipedia, he is known by his username Newyorkbrad, and is a member of the site's Arbitration Committee.[14][15] He began editing Wikipedia in 2005, on the same day that United States Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist died, as he noticed and corrected a factual error on Rehnquist’s Wikipedia page. He served on the English Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee from 2008 to 2014, and rejoined it in 2017,[16] making him the Committee's longest-serving member.[17]

As of 2016, Matetsky also serves as the "werowance" (or president) of the Wolfe Pack, an organization of fans of Rex Stout's most famous fictional detective, Nero Wolfe.[18][19] In 2015, Matetsky edited The Last Drive and Other Stories, a collection of Stout's earliest published work.[20]
