Tom is an associate in the Guernsey office's dispute resolution team. He regularly assists with the large financial services-based litigation and trust disputes for which the firm is well known.
His practice extends beyond these matters, though, touching on a range of contentious and non-contentious areas for clients in Guernsey and abroad.
Tom has recently advised on a host of debt recovery matters, property disputes and nuisance claims and has hands-on experience of the full range of resolution options available to clients – from early mediation to trial.
Tom's non-contentious work includes employment and local housing licence advice (to both employers and employees) as well as licensing advice to individual landlords and the hospitality industry in the Bailiwick.
