Matt Getz
Partner at Pallas Partners LLP
Speaker

Profile

A highly experienced practitioner, Matt’s practice focuses on corporate crime and fraud, including government and internal investigations, civil litigation and white collar defence. He has acted for clients across the board in anti-corruption and sanctions matters, including investigations, representations before prosecutors and regulators, defence in criminal and civil matters, and work for claimants. Matt also has a thriving civil litigation practice in fraud and complex data and privacy issues, along with “white-collar adjacent” civil litigations, where issues such as bribery, sanctions and asset freezing predominate. He has worked on some of the world’s largest anti-corruption investigations as well as some of the most complex High Court cases.

Accustomed to handling cases brought to him by individuals and corporations under investigation by the UK Serious Fraud Office and U.S. Department of Justice, challenging Interpol Red Notices and extradition, his straight talking has been called upon to advise in some of the most difficult and expensive reputation and liberty-threatening matters, producing effective solutions for his clients.

Matt is described in Legal 500 UK 2024 as “an exceptionally bright and able solicitor” who “works aggressively hard for his clients and is a top-notch performer”, “a brilliant, creative fighter who cares for his clients and spots things other people miss” and for knowing “which buttons to push and when to do so with maximum effect”. In Chambers UK 2024, clients note that Matt “is strident, strong and very bright”, “thoughtful in his approach” and that he is “no nonsense, commercially aware and wants to get to the right place for his clients.” Matt is recognised for his financial crime and anti-corruption experience, and is named by Who’s Who Legal as a “leading investigative lawyer.”
