Matrix Chambers

Matrix Chambers‘ ’employment offering is excellent, and the calibre of counsel is high‘. The group continues to handle complex, high-profile equal pay claims and a broad range of discrimination matters, and the set reports an uptick in instructions involving sensitive investigations. James Laddie KC is ’a market leader when it comes to whistleblowing claims‘. Mathew Purchase KC is acting for Tesco in a long-running, mass equal pay case involving over 20,000 claimants, and Laura Prince KC’s track record includes appearing before courts at all levels, including the Court of Appeal, in unfair and wrongful dismissal claims, TUPE matters, and discrimination cases. Among the junior end of chambers, Edward Kemp acted for the respondents in a discrimination claim brought by a claimant who entered into the Discernment of Vocations process within the Church of England; the Employment Tribunal ruled that a bishop is not an “employment service provider” under the Equality Act 2010.
