Matthew is ranked in The Spear’s Family Lawyers Index 2025 as “Recommended” with a focus on matrimonial and Schedule 1 cases. Spear’s writes:

“He primarily works on matrimonial and Schedule 1 cases while also advising on pre- and postnuptial agreements, family trust structures and inherited assets. It’s a varied workload, and with clients originating from America, Sweden and South Africa, Booth’s cases frequently have an international dimension – much to his pleasure. ‘I enjoy the way in which family law reflects social and cultural progress,’ he says. While some of his cases are litigated, many are settled out of court. He tells Spear’s that litigation can be often messy, often to the detriment of clients. ‘Toxic litigation can be incredibly draining, particularly when you’re representing someone who’s in a disempowered position,’ he says. ‘It’s not just about the money; it’s about giving [clients] a voice and protecting them from aggressive tactics.’”

The Legal 500 UK 2025 ranks Matthew as a “Next Generation Partner” for the Family category. He is recognised as a mediator and for his family practice including advising on wealth protection matters, including pre- and post-nuptial agreements.
