Thomas Cockburn
Career
Tom was called to the Bar by Middle Temple in 2015.
Tom has a busy and broad chancery practice, with a particular focus on insolvency (both personal and corporate), property (including landlord and tenant), and contentious probate. He regularly appears in the Chancery Division of the High Court and in the County Court, as well as before more specialist tribunals such as the Property Chamber of the First Tier Tribunal.
Tom was appointed to the Attorney General’s C Panel of Junior Counsel to the Crown for a five-year term from September 2020, and acts in that capacity for a number of government departments and bodies.
Before coming to the Bar, Tom qualified and practised as a probation officer, working in a number of settings to provide rehabilitation, advocacy and support for ex-offenders. He also represented the probation service in the Old Bailey and Court of Appeal. From these diverse experiences, Tom brings to his practice an ability to adapt his advocacy and advice to the needs of his lay client.
