Inquests and inquiries

Leading junior1
Thomas is an excellent advocate, with a talent for assimilating large volumes of data, especially deeply medical and scientific, and delivering detailed, well-executed submissions. His advocacy is nothing shy of brilliant, as he remains composed, prepared, and direct on all issues at hand. His scientific background provides him with exceptional knowledge and skill with medical jargon, allowing him to offer well-considered, accurate advice. He is able to perfectly balance the need for a robust, focused approach with the need to be sensitive and empathetic with a client. He is a conscientious, diligent barrister who provides an all-around excellent service to instructing solicitors and clients.
