Position
Tom defends and prosecutes across the spectrum of criminal law, including drugs, weapons and violence.
Tom is also rapidly building his practice in the areas of fraud, cybercrime and proceeds of crime. He is a member of both the financial and cybercrime teams in Chambers, and has undertaken secondments with both the Serious Fraud Office and HMRC. Whilst at HMRC, Tom advised on matters such as money laundering, civil confiscation and covert surveillance.
In addition to crime, Tom accepts instructions in extradition, civil actions against the police, and trading standards. Tom regularly advises and trains local authorities on their disclosure policies and strategies.
Before coming to the Bar, Tom worked as a consultant for Horizon Institute in Somaliland where he conducted research on reforms to prisons, juvenile justice laws, and criminal procedure. Tom interned at the Trial Chamber for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, and has worked with several NGOs in Kenya: he assisted with a landmark Supreme Court challenge to breaches of electoral law in the 2013 Kenyan election and drafted a report on the African Union’s proposal to set up a regional African criminal court to try international crimes.
