Matt Barkla is a seasoned lawyer with extensive experience in local government, planning, and litigation, serving as Director at Beck Legal. With a career firmly rooted in these areas, Matt is dedicated to collaborating closely with clients to explore alternative solutions that provide valuable outcomes beyond traditional legal processes. Recognising that heading to court or a tribunal isn't always the best course of action, his approach emphasises long-term results by understanding the non-legal needs driving his clients' issues.
Passionate about client satisfaction, Matt finds great fulfilment in addressing these underlying needs and achieving successful outcomes. His commitment goes beyond direct client work; he actively engages in training and mentoring, sharing his deep knowledge with both new lawyers and non-lawyers, and taking pleasure in their development and success.
Before his current role, Matt gained valuable experience as a Recruitment Consultant with Hays in Greater Melbourne. He holds a Bachelor of Laws from La Trobe University, completed in 2009. Outside of his professional commitments, Matt is a devoted supporter of the Geelong Cats and an enthusiastic cricket follower, passions that he's eager to discuss alongside resolving legal matters.
