Common Sense Matt Molloy 23 July 2026

In this episode of Common Sense, Not So Common, I speak with Matt Molloy, Master of the Worshipful Company of Arbitrators, about a remarkable career spanning construction, dispute resolution, education, writing and professional leadership. Matt reflects on the experiences that have shaped his approach to the profession, what he has learned from teaching and mentoring generations of practitioners, and why sharing knowledge through writing remains so important to him. We also explore the continuing relevance of the Worshipful Company of Arbitrators, his priorities during his year as Master, and the qualities that distinguish a truly outstanding professional. Away from professional life, Matt is preparing for an extraordinary Masters’ cycling challenge. He shares what inspired the journey, the important cause it will champion, and how others can support him and help raise awareness. There are no shortcuts to experience. This podcast and its accompanying newsletter seek to share the life lessons, professional insight and personal journeys of remarkable people. In dispute resolution, experience is often gained only by experiencing and Matt’s journey has much to teach us. We wish Matt and everyone taking part a safe and successful journey. We will all be cheering them on.
