About

Tom is an approachable and thoughtful lawyer. Since joining Stevens & Bolton in 2019 as a paralegal, he has trained in different practice groups throughout the firm before qualifying into the commercial real estate team in 2023.  

Since qualification, Tom has quickly built up a strong network of clients ranging from landlords and investors looking to manage their assets, to corporate occupiers and developers acquiring new spaces. Tom also enjoys close relationships with the corporate team and regularly provides real estate support on M&A deals.

Known for his calm and measured communication style, Tom is reassuring and supportive for clients at all stages of a property transaction and can be relied on to provide efficient and strategic advice to companies.

Outside of work, Tom can usually be found playing guitar in his heavy metal band – and brings that confidence and determination to the real estate world, ensuring that clients always achieve the best results possible.
