He is also frequently sought-after in cases involving serious sexual offences and those involving individuals suffering from serious mental health difficulties.
Tim Coulson, Chambers Director, welcomed his arrival, saying, “This is clearly great news for Chambers but more importantly excellent news for our clients who have now have access to another exceptional practitioner within our already market-leading group.”
Tom’s arrival follows the recruitment to Chambers in 2018/19 of a significant practitioner group from the former Zenith Chambers which includes Simon Kealey QC, Geraldine Kelly, Jessica Strange and Ashleigh Metcalfe.
