Tom is a Partner in CMS’s Energy & Infrastructure team. He advises developers, investors, utilities and large energy users on complex transactions, projects and regulatory issues across the energy sector.
His practice sits at the intersection of M&A, project development and energy market regulation, with a particular focus on assets and businesses whose value depends on licences, regulated or contracted revenue streams, and price control outcomes. He is particularly valued for helping clients build regulatory strategy into transactions and projects from the outset, and for giving clear, commercially grounded advice on complex Ofgem processes, investigations, CMA appeals and market reforms.
His recent work includes offshore wind acquisitions, network and interconnector transactions, supplier market entry and exit, price control appeals, REMIT compliance, and advice on major regulatory developments such as GB grid connections reform.
