Matt grew up in South Africa and his best friend’s family had moved from Ethiopia to live in Newcastle, both of which sparked his deep passion for Africa at an early age. After finishing school, he joined a charity in Uganda and spent a year teaching and living there, seeing all of its major parks, climbing all three Virunga volcanoes, and trekking with gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Matt then continued volunteering with a wildlife project in Botswana, working on game captures and vulture nesting studies, while also exploring the vast and unspoiled wilderness.

He advises sponsors, developers, contractors, equity financiers and lenders on a broad range of power generation projects (thermal, nuclear, renewables, waste-to-energy), and major infrastructure initiatives, including advising on construction, operation, supply and services agreements, regulatory compliance, risk, and project company structures. He also assists in the resolution and determination of project disputes, closely supporting client litigator teams with their analysis of contract and related issues.
