Speaking of his appointment, Matthew said: 'I am thrilled to have the opportunity to build on Kennedys’ already successful corporate practice as the firm’s global reach provides a significant platform for future growth.

'For international clients, that worldwide network of specialists with expertise across so many jurisdictions is an extremely attractive proposition.'
