What can I do for you

Tom defends claims against a range of professionals and advises professional indemnity insurers on policy coverage. He specialises in claims against construction professionals including architects, engineers and design and build contractors.

Tom also advises professional indemnity insurers on a broad range of coverage issues across a variety of professions and sectors. Alongside his construction professional indemnity practice, Tom also has significant experience advising latent defects and CAR insurers on coverage and liability issues, as well as handling major property damage disputes and subrogated recovery claims.

Supporting your ambitions

Tom has acted in substantial disputes pursued through the High Court, adjudication and arbitration. His recent experience includes:

  • Acting on behalf of a co-defendant in a High Court (TCC) claim arising out of alleged defects in the construction of a hospital. The main action was valued at over £140 million and listed for a 10-week trial. Tom helped secure a favourable negotiated settlement, avoiding lengthy and costly litigation.

  • Successfully defending a seven-figure claim pursued via adjudication against a design and build contractor.

Tom also has extensive experience of mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, with a particular focus on narrowing the issues in dispute and achieving pragmatic commercial outcomes wherever possible.

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.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
