Matthew Jahanfar

Prior to pupillage, Matthew won the Sir Louis Gluckstein Advocacy Prize, which is awarded to the best junior advocate at Lincoln’s Inn. He also refined his client-handling skills, by working with vulnerable people as a volunteer at Citizens Advice, Support4Sight, CHESS Homeless and Care4Calais.

Matthew has developed familiarity in a variety of civil areas, including credit hire, RTAs, infant settlements, OIC hearings and s.41 Highways Act 1980 matters. This built on previous experience he gained as a County Court Advocate with LPC Law, where he acted in mortgage possession, landlord & tenant, return of goods and insolvency proceedings.

In addition to attending court, Matthew is available to draft pleadings and provide advice in the practise areas mentioned above.
