Matt is a Partner in the Banking and Finance team in London. Matt specialises in 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 credit M&A transactions.
Prior to 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.

These transactions include the strategic withdrawal by a UK bank from Ireland, Portugal and Spain and the first ever Cypriot NPE loan portfolio sale.
Matt has represented many other financial institutions and private credit funds across a wide range of asset class disposals and acquisitions (in both debt and equity), such as shipping, CRE, infrastructure and corporate lending.
