Matt is a Partner in the Banking & Finance team. Matt specialises in credit M&A transactions including loan trading and distribution, portfolio sales (both performing and non-performing), balance sheet transactions for financial institutions as well as buy-side participants and loan servicers in the secondary loan market and other types of structured receivables transactions.

Before his role at Taylor Wessing, Matt was a corporate banker at a UK bank and was responsible for the design and execution of balance sheet deleveraging activities and regulatory capital solutions, and latterly the commercial lead for loan distribution and demand lead origination.

Matt has acted on some of Europe's largest NPE/NPL transactions (buy and sell side) in both a commercial and legal capacity to a total gross book value more than £50 billion. These transactions include the strategic withdrawal by a UK bank from Ireland, Portugal and Spain and the first ever Cypriot NPE loan portfolio sale.

Recently Matt has acted on complex and high value forward flow transactions for a number of traditional and challenger banks in respect of SME lending, REF, CBILs and RLS. 

Matt leads the firms Portfolio Advisory and Capital Solutions team.
