Experience

Tom practises broadly and accepts briefs in all areas, with a particular emphasis on criminal law and media law, and a keen interest in common law and public law.

Before coming to the Bar, Tom was an Associate to the Honourable Justice Incerti of the Supreme Court of Victoria. In that time, Tom assisted her Honour with a series of landmark bail rulings (including Re PJ, Re Terei and Re McLaughlin) and several significant decisions under the Serious Offenders Act. Prior to admission, Tom worked closely with a criminal barrister and at a boutique media law firm. In an earlier life, Tom was an actor (bartender) in LA.

Tom holds a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Sydney, where he was awarded the Aaron Levine Prize for Criminal Law, and is currently pursuing a Master of Laws at the University of Melbourne (with a focus on media and IP law). Tom also holds a Bachelor of Arts (English, Australian Indigenous Studies) from the University of Melbourne and a certificate in winemaking from UC Davis.

Tom is reading with Amelia Beech and his senior mentor is Chris Winneke KC.
