Tom has particular expertise in payment services matters, and was seconded to the Financial Conduct Authority to help draft their policy response to the Payment Services Regulations 2017. He works closely with the firm’s non-contentious Payment Services Group, providing support on contentious and quasi-contentious aspects of clients’ PSD2 implementation projects, terms and conditions, and other compliance issues.

Tom is a member of FSDI’s Digital Group. This is a cross-office working group which focuses on disputes and regulatory issues arising in the context of FinTech and RegTech. He also sits on client service teams for key clients in the firm’s financial institutions group.
