I am an Associate Solicitor specialising in Dispute Resolution and currently working in the Butcher & Barlow’s head office in Bury alongside our managing partner Anthony Higham. I advise on all types of civil disputes and litigation including;

  • Clinical Negligence
  • Commercial Disputes
  • Contentious Probate
  • Debt Recovery
  • Landlord and Tenant Issues
  • Personal Injury

Having studied Law as an undergraduate at Lancaster University obtaining a 2:1 classification, I then completed the Legal Practice Course at BPP University Liverpool obtaining a Distinction. I joined Butcher & Barlow in the summer of 2017 as a paralegal and started my training contract in September 2018. I qualified as a solicitor in September 2020.

I endeavour to provide clients with a quality and honest service and in a friendly and approachable manner.

Outside of work one of my biggest passions is to travel, having travelled to South East Asia, South America and across mainland Europe in the past few years. Another big hobby of mine is football, regularly playing 5 aside with my friends and following my team Liverpool FC.

    What our clients say about Thomas

    I had an initial call with Thomas Sedley and felt comfortable with him immediately. He clearly explained what steps he would take to get the caveat on my probate application removed and was transparent about estimated costs. He was also very professional, personable and empathetic, which made the decision to instruct him even easier. I was impressed with his prompt action and after only a couple of succinct and effective emails to the person who lodged the caveat, it was withdrawn. This was a huge relief as I anticipated the dispute would drag on for many more months. I highly recommend Thomas for dispute resolution and I would be happy to use Butcher & Barlow again when I need further legal help. Thank you!

    Whilst relatively junior, he shows a mature and considered approach to cases.

    I would definitely recommend this firm and in particular Thomas Sedley, who responded to my enquiry almost immediately. He arranged an appointment to give me advice the next day by telephone. He was professional throughout our meeting, clear and concise and explained everything thoroughly. Great to know I have access to expert advice on my doorstep in Bury.
