Testimonials
From our clients
Matt has been my clerk of choice for nearly 30 years. I have always been able to rely on Matt’s advice as to the right barrister for a case. I started relying upon Matt’s recommendations in the early 1990’s. I followed him across to Foley’s in 2010 and have no doubt Matt’s new list will be a great success. Matt will continue to be my first call as a barrister’s clerk.

I am pleased to provide this testimonial for Matt Parnell. Matt’s clerking skills are first-rate. He is helpful,
responsive, intuitive and always cheerful.
