• “It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Tom, especially in an office with nearly 300 staff. Tom took to the litigation department like a duck to water and showed a keen interest and regularly demonstrated an informed initiative beyond his experience. I was particularly impressed by Tom’s ability to handle even the toughest and most demanding clients as a junior and grasp complex legal issues and work on matters efficiently and with a keen attention to detail. These skills often take years to develop among aspiring solicitors, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him. Besides being an excellent attribute to the team Tom was always very professional, approachable both with members of the team and others. Tom would be an asset to any firm with a thriving litigation department” – Solicitor, former colleague.


• “I met Tom whilst working at Duncan Lewis. Tom was working as a paralegal in civil litigation department that time. I found him very knowledgeable in civil litigation matters. He had keen interest in dealing with complex matters. His workload was quite extensive however I never saw him stressed out. He always had the perfect attitude to accomplish his job. In fact his workload seemed to be more than a trainee. He also worked for a while with the DL management team and that shows his potential to be an active team member in any position. I wish that he qualifies as a solicitor very soon as our profession requires a professional individual like Tom who would do everything to bring the best outcome for the clients” – Solicitor, former colleague
