Two new tenants as Twenty Essex continues to grow

This week, we welcome Alex Demetriades and Matthew McGonagle as new tenants upon successful completion of their pupillage with Chambers.

Alex qualified as an advocate in Cyprus, working on human rights claims before the ECtHR during his traineeship. He also undertook a Blue Book Traineeship at the Contract Law Unit of the DG for Justice and Consumers (European Commission).

Before coming to the Bar, Matthew worked as a solicitor at Linklaters LLP, where he specialised in commercial litigation and internal investigations. Matthew also undertook a secondment to Plan International, one of the world’s largest children’s charities, where he advised on a range of legal issues.

In a joint message, Philip Edey KC and Charles Kimmins KC, co-Heads of Twenty Essex, commented:

“We are delighted officially to welcome Alex and Matt as new members of Twenty Essex. They have both been excellent pupils and, particularly given their prior experience, will no doubt hit the ground running as they embark on their careers at the Bar. We wish them every success.”

Twenty Essex continues to grow across all areas of practice.
