Matrix is widely acknowledged to have one of the strongest teams of public lawyers at the Bar. 

Members of our public law team continue to appear in nearly all the ground breaking cases in this area drawing the plaudits of the directories and other commentators. Rabinder Singh QC, for example, was praised in the 2005 edition of Chambers and Partners for his advocacy skills and "outstanding grip of human rights law";  Ben Emmerson QC for the respect with which he is held by the judiciary and his "beautifully constructed arguments". Cherie Booth QC, Tim Owen QC, David Wolfe, Helen Mountfield and Sam Grodzinski were also recommended in public law.

Our public law team includes practitioners in domestic, European Union, competition and human rights law and draws on Matrix' related strengths in areas such as commercial law, immigration law, environmental law and education law. These strengths mean that we can cover the full range of public law matters and can offer teams with all the expertise required. Additional areas of expertise include commercial regulation, competition and public procurement, and commercial judicial review. The team acts for a wide range of clients, including private sector organisations, central government, local authorities, NGOs and individuals. We are committed to publicly funded as well as privately funded work and to public interest litigation.
