Matthew Ball

Spear’s Review

Sherrards’ classic cars and supercars team comprises lawyers who are either classic car owners themselves or are car enthusiasts.

Partner Matthew Ball tells Spear’s: ‘I understand a lot of the issues that come up when clients are looking to invest in cars to buy them or restore them ... [Classic cars are] a common love that we have that we can just talk about at any point.’

Ball advises HNW clients on matters relating to terms of sale, car restoration, provenance disputes including establishing car ownership and verifying a car’s history, and transportation of cars.

Clients, who describe his advice as being ‘reassuring but robust’, cover a range of interests, from pre-war Aston Martin workshop owners to McLaren dealers, and are spread across Europe, India, China, Hong Kong, North Africa and the Middle East.
