Offshore Dispute Resolution
Matrix is home to some of the leading lawyers of their generation who frequently appear as counsel in courts and tribunals across the globe in all of their main areas of practice.
Members are recognised in Chambers Global Guide and Legal 500 MENA in a range of fields: public international, competition, commercial and employment law. Members are regularly instructed in offshore cases that intersect multiple areas of law.
Members are instructed by UK firms, international firms or local firms involved in offshore disputes in jurisdictions far and wide including the following:
- Northern Ireland and Ireland
- Channel Islands
- Gibraltar

Members are regularly instructed to act in “free zone” courts, such as the Court of Appeal and the Court of First Instance of the Dubai International Financial Centre, the Qatar International Court and the Abu Dhabi Global Market Courts.
Several members are admitted to practice in one or more overseas jurisdictions, either on an annual or an ad hoc basis.
Members of Matrix also sit part-time as judges in offshore courts. Clare Montgomery KC sits on the Court of Appeal of Jersey and Guernsey and the Cayman Islands Court of Appeal. Helen Mountfield KC sits as a judge of the Qatar International Court.
