What can I do for you

Tom is an insurance and commercial disputes lawyer advising on corporate civil liability, commercial crime & fidelity, cyber, directors & officers and professional indemnity. Often with international focus he routinely works alongside our network of best friend firms worldwide. On Tom’s corporate risk matters relating to fraud, clients benefit from his award-nominated schemes in respect of asset preservation and recovery.

What do others say

The Legal 500 has "recommended" Tom for insurance and reinsurance litigation and described him as "very bright", and clients have described him as "incredibly bright and perfect for really complex cases" and, in relation to his fraud work, "Head and shoulders above anyone else”.

Supporting your ambitions

The breadth of Tom’s practice is a product of his reputation for thinking differently about complex cases and situations, whatever the subject matter; from creating leading-edge law on disclosure against the police, to a legal first in serving injunctions by Facebook overseas, and, most recently, success before foreign courts in the tracing and preservation of stolen Bitcoin.

What else should you know?

Tom is half-French and never misses an opportunity to exercise his linguistic skills in the course of his work, from dealing with matters in France through to Mauritania.

What our clients say about us

“I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”
