I wanted to formally pass onto chambers my thanks and feedback for the exceptional work that Matthew Chipperfield-Taylor conducted on our behalf on a very complicated case. Matthew mastered the details, saw a clear path through the, at times, labyrinthian, proceedings, dealt with the various twists and turns, provided clear legal advice and sensible suggestions about planning. I could not have asked for better representation, and I am very glad that chambers were able to give us such consistency. (Instructing solicitor)

Just wanted to pass on some positive feedback for Matthew! Client was really impressed with him as was I. My trainee was sitting in and Matthew took the time to discuss with her…the Hague Convention as he knew she was a trainee. I was really impressed with his handle on the case given the late instruction.” (Instructing Solicitor)
