Interests

Tom is married to the amazing Julie and spends time outside work watching their kids participate in various sporting events, travelling and trying to maintain some degree of fitness by playing football, running or, preferably, skiing.

Tom assisted our business with a recent transaction and offered sound and professional advice throughout. The rigour he applied to all aspects of the process was invaluable and I would have no hesitation in recommending Tom for any commercial work in the future.

NICK HAMILTON, DIRECTOR, PROCTOR JOHNSON

Tom and his team work as partners in the process and understand the pressures that timetable can bring to the negotiations of Business Sales and Acquisitions. Someone you would want standing next to you.

MICHAEL O’NEILL, DIRECTOR, EQUITTEX

When you’re looking for a good corporate lawyer, you’re looking for commercial sympathy for the transaction, you’re looking for responsiveness and value for money and you’re looking for someone who will enhance the deal and help you anticipate and prepare for any future problems. Tom Sutcliffe of Excello law is just that lawyer.

I enjoyed working with Tom on my latest acquisition. He brought great commercial insight to the contract, reacted positively and appropriately to issues and helped deliver a better outcome. I would highly recommend him.
