Nicholas Randall QC—Matrix

Silk to join Matrix in November

Matrix has announced that Nicholas Randall QC is joining them from Devereux with effect from 3 November. The chambers recruited him because of his strong reputation and practice in employment law, sports and pensions law.

Matrix has been named Chambers of the Year 2014 by no fewer than three organisations: Chambers & Partners, Halsbury Legal Awards and the Modern Law Awards. The chambers also won “Media Team of the Year” at the Chambers & Partners Awards 2014 and Phillippa Kaufmann QC won Human Rights and Public Law Silk of the Year.

Thomas Linden QC says: “I have long been a big fan of Nicholas Randall QC and am delighted that he is joining us. He is user friendly, a thoughtful lawyer, an authority on his areas of specialism and a very good advocate, so Matrix is his natural home. Our employment team is already very strong at the silk level and he will enhance our ability to do high quality work and provide an excellent service to our clients. But he will also help to spearhead our rapidly developing sports practice. It is very exciting.”
