Specialist children’s law practitioner Matt Rogan is joining the family law team as Exchange Chambers in Liverpool

Exchange Chambers in Liverpool has added specialist children law practitioner Matt Rogan to its team.

A solicitor since 2004, Matt has transferred to the Bar to join Exchange. His experience covers almost any area of work in public and private children law cases. He has represented children, parents, family members and intervenors.

And he has represented children in complex care proceedings or in the context of inherent jurisdiction High Court proceedings. Matt said: “I was attracted to Exchange for a number of reasons.

“The set has a track-record for welcoming former solicitors to the Bar. And I also know the clerks and have for many years been instructing them as a solicitor. Exchange has been very welcoming and supportive. Having been thinking about the move for a few years, my only regret is that I should have done it earlier.”

Jonathan I’Anson, chief executive of Exchange, added: “Matt is the latest in a long line of solicitors who have transferred to the Bar and joined Exchange. A first-rate advocate, his extensive experience stands him in good stead for a long and successful career at the Bar.”
