His connections to and knowledge of the South Wales and South West market and its key players is unsurpassed. Matthew always delivers on his promises and is approachable and personable whilst highly professional. You're in safe hands !

Managing Partner

Matt Goodwin 
Director

Matt’s first steps into the world of legal sector recruitment date back to 2004. Having originally qualified as a Solicitor, after several years in practice he sensed the need for a change of direction and a new challenge.
​
After working at Chadwick Nott for many years, including eventually as the Manager of the successful South West and South Wales practice, and more recently having been a Director at Motus Legal Recruitment here in Bristol, Matt is one of the most well-connected and highly-trusted recruiters in the region.     

Matt’s experience spans private practice recruitment and exclusive mandates on in-house roles, and both contingent and retained search work.

Having lived in Exeter, in Bristol, and now back home in the Cotswolds, Matt is proud of his roots in the South West. He regularly travels around the region including Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Cardiff, Taunton, Exeter, and beyond.

With a young family, weekends will often involve countryside walks (and pub lunches), and a range of sports whenever the chance arises.
