“He’s completely focussed on finding solutions to cases. He sits patiently, listens to arguments and provides a beautiful evaluation of the outcome. He’s always spot on to the extent that cases that don’t settle have outcomes largely similar to what he says. The way he communicates is such that clients can understand everything he’s saying and have absolute faith in his indication. Everyone knows his views are well thought out and sound.”
“He provides a service like no one else in this field. He is kind to the parties even when he doesn’t agree with their position, and makes sure no-one involved in the process feels alienated. This ensures that the case is more likely to settle.”
Tom’s experience at the Bar has centred on the financial side of relationship and family breakdown, including financial remedy claims arising on divorce, claims made on behalf of children under Schedule 1 to the Children Act 1989, proceedings after overseas divorce, domestic and international enforcement, disputes under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996, the creation and interpretation of nuptial agreements and claims under the Inheritance (etc.) Act 1975. Tom’s workload is predominantly centred on financial remedies, cohabitation disputes, pre-nuptial agreements and Schedule 1 claims.
Tom’s practice is now focussed on non-court dispute resolution, with particular emphasis on his role as an arbitrator under the IFLA Financial Scheme. Alongside his practice as an arbitrator, Tom is also very regularly instructed to act as ‘judge’ within the ‘private-FDR’ process, assisting parties in reaching agreement in the course of financial proceedings at all levels of complexity and value.
