Portrait of Matthew Innes

Practice Overview

Matthew has a broad commercial and Chancery practice covering all of Chambers’ core practice areas. He regularly appears as counsel, both in unled and led work.

Matthew joined Chambers in October 2023 on the completion of his pupillage. During pupillage, he was exposed to a broad range of matters including civil fraud, company, commercial, property, insolvency, and trusts disputes. His supervisors were Gareth Tilley, Sophie Holcombe, Thomas Elias, and Michael Walsh. After joining Chambers, Matthew spent six months on a secondment with Stevens & Bolton LLP, where he assisted the Private Wealth Disputes and Commercial Litigation teams with a range of matters across the spectrum of commercial and Chancery work.

Before coming to the Bar, Matthew completed a DPhil in early modern French history at University College, Oxford.
