Following his tenure in public service, he joined the prestigious firm of Shearman and Sterling LLP, representing corporate clients in high-stakes investigations and legal matters.

In 2009, Zack co-founded Galluzzo and Johnson LLP (now the Law Office of Matthew Galluzzo), where he focused on a private practice encompassing both criminal and civil rights law. This role allowed him to advocate passionately for individuals facing legal challenges, further deepening his dedication to client-centered representation.

For the past seven years, Zack has been practicing in Minnesota's beautiful northern lakes country and has focused his practice on family law, real estate, business and probate litigation, and appeals. His comprehensive understanding of the legal system, coupled with his experience in obtaining favorable outcomes for his clients, makes him a trusted advisor in difficult legal matters, including Orders for Protection (OFP) and Harassment Restraining Orders (HRO).

Zack's approach to law is characterized by his unwavering commitment to his clients, his meticulous attention to detail, and his strategic thinking. He is dedicated to providing compassionate support and effective legal solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

Outside of the office, Zack is an active member of the Park Rapids community. He has served as the president and membership chair of the Park Rapids Rotary club and serves on the board of the Northern Light Opera Company and the Huntersville Sportsmen's Club. He is an active member of his church where he rotates in on piano duty and teaches Sunday school, and also hosts a local podcast, Northwestern Voices. He is proud to serve the Park Rapids area and is committed to making a positive impact through his work.
