He also has a particular interest in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Due to recent queries, Matthew confirms he does not deal with any inheritance issues, whether informing family members of potential inheritances, or inheritance claims generally. Any emails to the contrary have not been sent from Forsters LLP and are fraudulent. Should you receive any such communications, please notify us by email at enquiries@forsters.co.uk. He also has significant expertise in private law children work including domestic and international relocation and abduction. Matt is particularly adept at settling cases for his clients who include private individuals, families, trusts and companies. He also advises on pre and post nuptial agreements, focussing on the interface between agreements and litigation. In addition to his work helping clients through the process of separation and the financial and child-related ramifications, Matt is an acknowledged expert on appeals and the process of setting aside defective financial orders (for example on the basis of non-disclosure, undue influence, or fraud). His expertise in the law and procedure is well recognised in the industry, having been an author for various leading practitioner texts including the appeals chapter of the Rayden and Jackson on Divorce and Family Matters, 19th edition, and the guide to Consent Orders for Practical Law. Matt is a committed member of Resolution and is on the Pensions, Tax and Financial Remedies committee as well as on the Family Solutions Initiative working group. He has also taught family law both at the London School of Economics and King’s College London and has been an examiner at the latter. He is listed as a 'Top Recommended' lawyer in Spear's 500 and ranked in Chambers HNW Guide 2021 where he is described as "fantastic", giving "top-quality advice" and someone who can "really see the strategic picture." Matt joined Forsters in 2019 from his role as Barrister at 1 Hare Court, where (in addition to recognition since joining Forsters) he was ranked in the directories as a "star of the future" and "very good with clients". His experience at the Bar helps him identify the best Counsel for his clients, and his experience of Judges helps him identify the right strategy early in litigation. Matt recognises that different clients have different needs and different budgets. He is happy to provide a Partner-led service, or a light touch service whether advising in the background whilst clients represent themselves in litigation or ADR, or strategic oversight with an associate managing the case so as to ensure costs are proportionate.
