New Tenant

We are delighted to announce that Matthew Chipperfield-Taylor will be joining St. Mary’s as a tenant from 27 August 2024.

Matthew specialises in public law children matters where he has a busy caseload representing Local Authorities, parents & guardians. Matthew is increasingly instructed in complex non-accidental injury, DOLS, alienation and abuse cases.

Welcoming Matthew to St. Mary’s, Joint Head of Chambers, Claire Howell said: “Matthew has always stood out as an excellent advocate whose preparation is meticulous. My delight has been well documented lately, and continues as we announce that Matthew is joining our team next month. I have no doubt he will accomplish great things at St Mary's.

It's been a busy few months at St Mary's, and I am genuinely excited about the future as we grow in strength and depth. We have some of the Midlands' most capable Family Law barristers in chambers and I can truthfully say I enjoy working alongside each of them.”

Upon joining St. Mary’s, Matthew said: "I am delighted to be joining such a welcoming set of excellent barristers. I am looking forward to working surrounded by exceptionally talented advocates and a plethora of professional staff. I hope that I can continue to advance my own career, utilising the experience and relationships that St Mary's Chambers has cultivated over a number of years, and be a productive member of the team here."
