He has appeared as counsel for the Commonwealth in many key cases before various courts and tribunals, including the High Court, the Federal Court, the Supreme Courts of the states and territories and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. He has advised and appeared for the Commonwealth in various inquiries and commissions.

Tom was a fellow speaker with the Attorney-General at last week's ADR in Government Forum held in Canberra and jointly organised by NADRAC and the Office of Legal Services Coordination. The paper he presented at the forum can be accessed here.

The Attorney-General has stated that the new members 'will make a valuable and broad ranging contribution to NADRAC's work, including through promoting the use and profile of alternative dispute resolution'.

Tom will make a great contribution to NADRAC's important work in developing ADR in Australia.
