We are deeply saddened to share that Matthew Bonye, our dear colleague and friend, has passed away.
Matthew was a partner and the head of our Real Estate Dispute Resolution practice in London. Over his hugely successful career of 32 years at the firm, Matthew built an outstanding reputation as a real estate disputes lawyer, and he was involved in some of the UK's landmark cases.
Matthew was not only a brilliant lawyer; of more importance than that, he was a dear friend to all of us. He was a kind-hearted, gentle and considerate person.
He will be deeply missed by all of his friends and colleagues.
