I am a specialist in dispute resolution, with many years’ experience in civil litigation. I am able to offer advice on various legal issues that may arise within your business and personal life. I work collaboratively with my clients, empowering them to fully understand every aspect of their case and ensure that they achieve the best possible outcome.

I love to be outside, whether it be walking our two dogs in the Cotswolds, cultivating our garden, or cooking for my wife and daughter on the BBQ.

Helpful winning advice
I contacted Matthew regarding a County Court claim of just under £8,000 made against my Company. On reviewing the necessary documents, Matthew provided a letter of advice that was clear, easy to understand and easy to follow. His advice helped me improve the documentation and provided focus, structure and clear points to make in my testimony to the judge. As a result, the judge ruled that I had to pay ~£830. This is a fantastic win for my company. I highly recommend Matthew, his team and Hedges Law. Thank you for a great service.

Nearly 5 stars but change of lawyer means it’s too early to give 5
We have been dealing with an issue for a while now and due to our lawyer moving on to another firm we were handed over to Matthew Cotton. At our request Matthew came to visit us as we hadn't met in person. This was far the best decision as he really needed to see the layout of things to get a better physical picture of the case. Much is always missed and miss understood in written descriptions which was evident in our case. As soon as Matthew had had a walk round you could see things became much clearer in his mind as to the correct way to move forward and he quickly set to work with us defining a clear path forward. His approach was quite refreshing and he left us feeling very relieved that he is representing us. There is still some way to go but I am confident that he will steer this to an amicable conclusion so all parties involved can put it behind them.

Fantastic outcome
Matthew Cotton dealt with a dispute I had with my siblings regarding a co-owned property. He was excellent throughout the process from start to finish and kept me fully informed, allowing me to make informed decisions. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. Matthew demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my situation. He achieved a fantastic outcome regarding settlement and costs; I could not have hoped for more. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I would highly recommend Matthew Cotton who undertook a comprehensive review of my redundancy package in a very limited timeframe.
Matthew really took the time to understand my situation, explain the multiple clauses included within the redundancy package and made recommendations on additional questions l should ask.
I very much appeciated Matthews calm and methodical approach during a very stressful time.
