Matthew Connery, Solicitor
Matthew Connery qualified as a Solicitor in 1999 and is the Director of Leech & Co. Matthew is known for his personable and friendly approach to his clients and his attention to detail in legal matters and client care. He is passionate about ensuring all of our clients receive comprehensive, expert and efficient legal advice in relation to all later life matters.
Outside of work, Matthew is a keen Parkrunner (very slow), plays 5-a-side football (very badly and slowly) and tries to keep up with much younger people at Bootcamp twice a week (very unsuccessfully). He also enjoys going for hikes with his Beagle, Frankie, although most of the time it’s not clear who is taking who for a walk. Matthew also volunteers at Stretford Foodbank.
