Matrix has a growing reputation in claims and actions against the Police with expert counsel at all levels of seniority.  This reputation is recognised in those directories that cover claimant based work, the 2005 edition of Chambers and Partners ranking Matrix joint second and highlighting the teams involvement in "top-flight" matters.

The teams work in recent years has covered a wide range of issues including:

* the justification for continued detention in matters involving breach of the peace

* stop and search for articles connected to terrorism

* the lawfulness of poster campaigns showing the identities of offenders

* negligence in connection to deaths in custody, and

* misfeasance in public office
