Bio
Stephen Harrison-Mirfield
I worked with Matthew over a period of 8 years and found him to be a commercially focussed Employment Lawyer, he never simply said this is what the Law states, he gave me options with the pros and cons of each and helped me to work through the issues to come to a workable solution. Matthew was someone that always went the extra yard and who I found totally trustworthy and someone I trusted implicitly in my field. Despite now working outside of the UK I still refer people to Matthew and will still consult him on particular issues. He is simply brilliant at what he does!
Gill Bailey MBA, FCIPD
Matthew supported the me and other colleagues within the DWF HR team with any employee relations issues where we sought legal professional and technical input. He is pragmatic and commercially focused, providing clear and specific advice and was always responsive and readily contactable. I was confident following the advice he gave as it was always aligned to both getting us to the best position as an employer whilst recognising the need to sensitively manage the needs of individuals involved.
