I am a litigation and arbitration solicitor who specialises in company, commercial and fraud matters.

I am a dispute resolution solicitor who joined Fladgate in 2011 after training at a major international firm.

My practice focusses on commercial and business disputes. I have particular experience and expertise dealing with shareholder disputes, fraud matters, insolvency claims and disputes relating to international supply and distribution agreements.

I have extensive experience of High Court litigation and international arbitration.

I advise on the Commercial Agents Regulations and am regularly instructed in commercial agent compensation cases.

I also advise private clients on defamation, contentious trust and contentious probate disputes.

I am ranked as a leading lawyer in both Legal 500 and Chambers.

Experience

Successfully defending a shareholder and director accused of participating in a conspiracy to defraud the majority shareholder of a large casino business. The case involved parallel civil proceedings in the High Court and a private prosecution in the criminal courts.

Acting as sole advocate for a listed Polish manufacturing company in an ICC arbitration in Vienna relating to claims arising out of a commercial agency agreement.

Acting for the provisional director of a Californian technology company in a High Court claim relating to the disputed ownership of valuable shares in an English IT company.

Acting for an Israeli joint-venture partner in a three week Commercial Court trial relating to the alleged mismanagement of a high profile Berlin property development. The claim settled before judgment.

Acting for the successful party in a three week High Court trial about the proper interpretation of a will.

Tom has fantastic attention to detail and he doesn’t leave a stone unturned for his clients. He’s particularly good at listening and knows how to delegate, getting a lot out of his team.

I would single out Tom Bolam, who exemplifies the ethos I have described above. An engaging and sympathetic but hard-headed lawyer who gives clear and sensible advice. He has a good eye for detail and the big picture and never loses sight of the quickest and most cost-effective solution for the dispute. An exemplary modern litigation solicitor.

Tom is one of the most impressive solicitors I know. I've been very impressed by his ability to get on a client's page. He is an aggressive litigator but also thorough and willing to learn.
