After graduating, Tom was an Associate to Justice Richard White and Justice David Bleby in the Supreme Court of South Australia for 18 months in 2005 and 2006.

Tom has practised for 20 years, almost exclusively in commercial litigation and dispute resolution.

Prior to joining our firm in 2017, he had worked at Fisher Jefferies (now Dentons) and Iles Selley Lawyers, becoming a partner of that firm in 2016.

Tom is versatile in a broad range of litigation matters, ranging from property and trust disputes to defamation and insolvency matters, and almost everything in between.
