About

Leading sports marketing group Infront deal with a variety of legal and business issues while also experiencing ownership changes in the last few years; in early 2015 they were acquired by the China-based Dalian Wanda Group. The financial and strategic impact of these changes alongside ensuring that the numerous and lucrative commercial agreements are reached smoothly have been challenging but rewarding for Thomas. He particularly enjoys working within a sporting environment, stating that sport ‘affects most of the population on this planet’ being ‘part of our life and culture, actively or passively’. Reflecting both the changing nature of the general counsel role and the motivation to excel, Thomas has explicitly sought to improve non-legal skills with a view to ‘developing a comprehensive understanding of the business’.
