Matthew Wrigley

Matthew trained as a solicitor in London and was a partner in a City firm for some years before returning to Yorkshire in 1978.  He was head of the private client and charities department at Dibb Lupton (now DLA), before demerging the whole department to form Wrigleys in 1996.  He now splits his time between private client (trusts and tax planning) work and charity matters.  He specialises in questions of trust constitution, governance and trustee responsibilities. 

He is recognised as an expert in both disciplines by the National Legal Directories, Legal 500 and Chambers, and having a particular interest in heritage property, his practice regularly involves questions which overlap both areas.  He acts for the owners of some of the most important heritage properties still in private hands, and trusteeships have included the Yorkshire Film Archive, the Yorkshire Gardens Trust and the Thackray Medical Museum.
