Tom is an experienced corporate lawyer with a particular focus on M&A and venture capital in the creative, technology, entertainment and sport sectors.
I work with investors, corporate clients, founders and entrepreneurs on a broad range of domestic and cross-border transactions from early-stage investment through to exit. I have a great deal of experience in venture capital, M&A (buy and sell side), private equity, shareholder arrangements, joint ventures, reorganisations and general corporate advice.
Whether it’s an experienced corporate or fund or a founder team undergoing its first significant funding round, I help clients cut through the noise to focus on the issues that really matter to them. Having worked in-house, I understand the pressures teams face and the need for clear, commercial and pragmatic guidance.
I am constantly impressed and inspired by the quality of the investors, businesses and management teams I encounter in these sectors and feel fortunate to share the journey with them.”
