About Matt

Regulatory and reputational issues often have unforeseen and complex impacts on various elements of modern life. My role is to bring resolution to the issues that my clients face within their personal and/or professional lives to ensure that any impact is minimised and their interests are protected at all times.

Matt specialises in reputation management, financial regulatory and professional disciplinary matters. He advises individuals, businesses and organisations on complex regulatory issues and investigations, as well as helping clients manage sensitive reputational matters and protect their privacy.

Matt’s practice has an international dimension. He advises on the various multi-jurisdictional matters and his reputation management work includes clients from a wide range of sectors, including politics, entertainment, sport and international business. He regularly helps individuals and organisations navigate sensitive and potentially complex situations, with a focus on minimising their impact and protecting his clients’ interests.

Matt has Higher Rights of Audience and regularly appears as an advocate in disciplinary and regulatory proceedings before disciplinary and appeal tribunals. He has been listed in Chambers UK High New Worth, Chamber UK and The Legal 500 since 2009 as a leader in the fields of Defamation / Reputation Management (High New Worth), Professional Discipline and sports law.

Matthew Bosworth is phenomenal. He made a very stressful situation much easier, understood the issue and handled it like the professional he is.
