Tom Dumont KC practises from Radcliffe Chambers, in Lincoln's Inn. He was appointed silk in 2019, the culmination of years as one of the most in-demand barristers at the Chancery Bar. He has been Advocate of the Year at STEP’s Private Client Awards and one of the Lawyer’s Hot 100. He has won cases in the Supreme Court, the Administrative Court and the Court of Appeal, as well as his more usual stamping-ground, the Chancery Division.

His practice covers the booming sector of contentious trusts and estates, and other private client litigation and advice. He has a particular strength in professional negligence where it overlaps with the private client world, such as tax-planning by solicitors and accountants. His clients range from individuals, young and old, trust companies (on and offshore), to entrepreneurs, national charities and Russian oligarchs (till they went out of fashion).”
