Matrix Chambers

Clients praise Matrix Chambers for the ‘extremely effective’ representation its barristers provide in market-defining tech data breach litigation, group claims and information law cases. Catrin Evans KC was instructed in Pacini v Dow Jones & Co and its conclusion has had a significant impact on the law surrounding reputational damage claims and right to be forgotten relief. Ben Silverstone leverages a wealth of media law expertise to advocate in highly publicised GDPR and national security proceedings. Ian Helme is noted for his capabilities in cases involving the financial conduct authority, particularly those relating to cryptocurrency. Sara Mansoori KC acted for the claimant in Harrison v Cameron, which led to important clarification on the domestic purposes exemption when dealing with the recording and distribution of phone conversations.
