Matt is a Senior Associate solicitor in our Military Department, based in our Cardiff office. Matt specialises in bringing civil noise-induced hearing loss claims on behalf of veterans and serving personnel, regularly securing settlements that reflect a claimant’s need for future hearing aid provision and the adverse impact of their hearing problems on their career.

He also assists clients with receiving compensation through the War Pension Scheme and Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and has represented appellants at First-Tier Tribunals.

Matt is a keen fundraiser for the veteran community and has run the London Marathon, as well as other half marathons for military charities.
