He has experience working on complex high net worth financial remedy cases, including those involving complex business interests, international assets, crypto-assets, conduct issues and the enforcement of financial orders.

I am passionate about working with clients to achieve the best possible outcome for them, taking a pragmatic and strategic approach. I pride myself on guiding clients with empathy and sensitivity, to help them feel supported through what can be a difficult period.
As a member of Resolution, an organisation which promotes a constructive approach to resolving family law matters, Tom always endeavours to help clients resolve disputes in a constructive manner. Previous clients have described Tom as having a ‘calming presence’ and ‘inspiring confidence’.
Tom is a law and business graduate of the University of Warwick, which gives him a particularly strong understanding of corporate structures and the commercial considerations that can arise in family law matters.
