Wort said: "The journey Anthony Collins has been on over the last 50 years to become a leading social purpose law firm has been built on our team’s dedication to going above and beyond for our clients in the important work they do to improve lives, communities and society. 

"Since joining Anthony Collins in 2005, I've seen first-hand the fantastic teamwork and commitment of all the staff and partners here to social purpose which has been essential in our success. As we continue to grow as a firm, we are focused on becoming the firm that people aspire to work for because of the great work that we do for our clients and the way that we do it.

"Our recent B Corp accreditation is a good metric for measuring the impact of this social purpose work, and the positive wider impact Anthony Collins has for clients and the communities they serve as well as our environmental impact.”

He added: “In my new role, I am focused on continuing to build on Anthony Collins' goals of putting social purpose at the forefront of everything we do, and supporting our clients in their work across our key sectors including the private client team, social business, health and social care, charities, social housing and local government."

Peter Hubbard added: “With such a strong purpose and shared goal at Anthony Collins, it’s essential that we recruit passionate people who share this vision to improve lives through the work they do, and I know Matt inspires people who want to work for a law firm with social purpose at its heart to spend their career making a positive difference in society.

"Matt’s deep commitment to using the law as force for good aligns well with our recent B Corp accreditation. Being a B Corp is all about transforming the economy to benefit all people, communities and the planet."
