The leading legal directories recognise Matrix members' discrimination and equality work across a range of fields:
'Peers commended the "tremendous commitment to people, who are disadvantaged" displayed by Karon Monaghan. She is a "brave equality lawyer" with a particular expertise in discrimination claims.' (Chambers & Partners 2005)
In the latest edition of Legal 500, our members' work in this area is recognised in various sections -
In Civil liberties & Human Rights Matrix was named joint ‘Leading Set’ - ‘Matrix Chambers' Rabinder Singh QC is singled out for his insight and his intellect. This year he appeared for the MoD in British Army Gurkha Pensions, with Nicholas Blake QC acting for the pensioners, in a discrimination claim on the grounds of nationality. Karon Monaghan mounted a successful challenge to workplace dress codes in Thompson v Department for Work and Pensions.’
In Employment - ‘A junior star is Karon Monaghan, who acted for Mr Thompson on his EAT challenge concerning the obligation to wear a tie, and also appeared for long-standing client the CRE in D'Souza v Lambeth Borough Council in the Lords.’
