3PB welcomes education and public law barrister Matthew Wyard
2nd March 2020
3PB is pleased to welcome Matthew Wyard, a public law barrister specialising in the fields of education, health and social care. He joined chambers having spent his first few years of practice as an employed barrister in the public law and commercial litigation departments of a well-known specialist public law firm.
Matthew brings significant experience of court-based and advisory work for claimants and local authorities in education matters, individuals and institutions in Court of Protection disputes as well as the entire range of community care instructions. Unusually, he is one of very few barristers who are expert in both English and Welsh education and social care law and can advise on the proposed changes in 2021 to the Welsh special education needs (SEN) system.
Alongside a busy barrister's practice, Matthew is a widely published legal author acting as a contributing editor to Clarke Hall and Morrison on Children and a regular contributor to Lexis PSL, providing updates on the law to the legal profession. He has also been published in The Times Higher Education, the Education Law Monitor and the Solicitors Journal. Matthew is currently writing for the forthcoming, inaugural edition of the new Education Law Handbook.
David Richards, Head of 3PB’s Public & Regulatory team, commented “I am delighted to welcome Matthew to 3PB. It shows the real strength of 3PB when we attract specialist junior barristers of Matthew’s calibre. We look forward to him developing his practice here as part of the exciting plans we have for public and education law teams here at 3PB.”
