Biography
Tom Street studied law at the University of Manchester and qualified as a Solicitor in January 2003, having trained at a private practice, opposite the Royal Courts of Justice in Chancery Lane. Tom cut his teeth on litigious work in the High Court around the various London County Courts and Employment Tribunals. During this time, Tom worked on cases in the Court of Appeal, the House of Lords and even a case which was referred to the European Court of Justice in Brussels.
In 2003, Tom took up a position at a niche dispute resolution practice in the City of London, where, amongst other things, he represented a number of victims of the Ladbroke Grove rail crash, gaining invaluable experience of complex personal injury claims in the High Court and in particular a fatal accident claim believed to be the highest value in English Legal History. He was also involved in complex commercial arbitration and high value insolvency cases.
In 2005, Tom started a family and moved to the South West where he is now based. Tom Street & Co started trading in July 2010, and now provides quality dispute resolution services to clients throughout the Southwest and beyond.
Tom is recognised as one of the UK’s leading Employment Law solicitor advocates. He is a straight talking, approachable lawyer who has a keen eye for what makes a viable case.
For nearly 20 years Tom has been upholding the legal rights and protections of employees and individuals, and since qualifying as a solicitor has been involved in a number of high profile landmark cases.
He is a seasoned litigator who specialises in contentious employment law, civil and commercial litigation, arbitration and dispute resolution.
In accordance with his strongly held objective to provide everyone who has a viable legal claim with an easy pathway to justice, Tom founded the online portals www.doihaveacase.co.uk (2010) and www.tribunalclaim.com (2015). Primarily, Tom aims to provide a no win no fee service to his clients, but when this is not possible, he aims to provide a service that is affordable and accessible.
