Matrix Chambers is a barristers’ set situated at Gray’s Inn, London. It was founded in April 2000 by 22 barristers from 7 different chambers.[1]

Matrix was founded shortly before the implementation of the Human Rights Act in October 2000. It caused mild controversy when it was leaked that "a new chambers was being set up with many of the leading and most high-profile barristers in the area of human rights - who had all been headhunted".[2] It was the first concrete spin-off to come from the new legislation and broke new ground in being a specialist set, focusing on criminal law, constitutional law and human rights, with an international perspective.

Members include: Cherie Booth QC, Philippe Sands, Clare Montgomery QC, Daniel Brennan, Baron Brennan QC, Sir Ken Macdonald QC, Tim Owen (barrister) QC, and Julian B. Knowles QC.
