Since calling at the bar, Matt has been involved in numerous types of case, tending predominantly to appear for clients in the High Court. He is also retained by the Lord Advocate as an ad hoc Advocate Depute. Following his lengthy involvement in the World’s End double murder trial he has developed an extensive working knowledge of the most recent developments in the application of DNA evidence.
