Tom Spencer

Solicitor - Partner

SRA ID: 381535

Tom is a commercial litigator specialising in commercial disputes. Tom acts for clients in a variety of different types of disputes, but typically, those claims involve breach of contract, company disputes (director and shareholder conflicts and post-merger issues), commodity claims (including disputes over artwork), contentious probate, insolvency, and cross-border issues. Tom represents and advises a wide range of clients including businesses and individuals, acting for both claimants and defendants. A characteristic of the service Tom provides is a pragmatic and commercial approach to disputes, seeking to find cost–effective solutions which accord with the client’s objectives. As such, alternatives to court proceedings are always at the forefront of his mind, with a particular focus on adjudication, arbitration and mediation, seeking to ensure a confidential, agreeable and proportionate outcome. However, in circumstances where disputes cannot be readily solved, Tom is able to draw on his experience to conduct proceedings in the Courts and Tribunals. Tom has been involved in contentious legal work for almost 20 years, having worked in disputed costs and litigation departments prior to qualifying as a solicitor. Since qualification, Tom has worked as a commercial litigation solicitor for firms in London and the southeast, acting in a variety of complicated, contentious and noteworthy claims in the Courts and Tribunals of England and overseas, in collaboration with international colleagues.
