Thomas has a busy practice covering a range of common law, commercial and regulatory matters, with particular focus on consumer and financial services issues (both contentious and non-contentious).

He is ranked in the legal directories as a leading practitioner in the areas of Financial Services Regulation, Banking & Finance and Consumer Finance. He was instructed as junior counsel in the Supreme Court in Beavis v ParkingEye Ltd [2016] AC 1172, now the leading decision on the common law penalties doctrine and unfair terms in consumer contracts. During the course of 2017-19 he was instructed as junior counsel in the landmark Berkeley Burke litigation, appearing both in judicial review proceedings against the Financial Ombudsman Service and related group litigation in the Circuit Commercial Court. His clients include lenders, insurers, pensions providers, IFAs, retailers, charities, regulators and high net-worth individuals.

Thomas has a pragmatic and down-to-earth approach, and is always happy to provide an early strategic view at the outset of litigation. He is often engaged in cases involving particularly sensitive commercial or personal issues.
