Tom commenced pupillage in September 2024, under the supervision of Guy Swiffen and Christopher Styles. His practice is in Family Law and is accepting instructions on all matters of Public Children Law.
Expertise
Care
During pupillage, Tom has observed emergency applications for removal at an interim stage, as well as applications for care orders, supervision orders and placement orders.
Prior to securing pupillage Tom worked for a housing charity in West Leeds, advocating for those at risk of imminent homelessness, or facing other issues regarding inadequate or insecure living conditions. Tom is therefore very experienced in dealing with vulnerable and anxious clients.
