‘Anita Rivera, Daniel Farrand, and Tom Barton are outstanding leaders in the field of planning. I have had the pleasure of working with Tom on a number of matters and he is an exceptional solicitor, with the focus always on doing the absolute best for his client. He is diligent, cogent and persuasive in his written work, and has the rare ability to offer sensible strategic insights and judgment on the big calls. He is someone you want to be fighting your corner, and I would advise settling if you find yourself against him.’
