Tom Jarvis

Tom is a litigator, specialising in regulatory disputes, corporate and commercial litigation, competition, antitrust and administrative law.

Tom has acted in, and has successfully concluded, commercial and civil disputes for Government Departments, Agencies, GBE’s and statutory authorities, large corporations and major professional services firms, including matters that require a keen appreciation of political and cultural sensitivities and reputational risk.

Tom’s particular skill lies in the strategic management of protracted legal disputes - to pre-empt, resolve or litigate them. With nearly 30 years’ experience, Tom is well placed to identify the legal issues and commercial drivers behind a dispute and where possible, to formulate a strategy for the resolution of that dispute which aligns with the objectives of his client. Tom has successfully negotiated favourable settlements in many instances well prior to trial, resulting in significantly reduced costs for his clients. He is an advocate for legal project management and the application of technology to streamline the delivery of litigation services.

Tom has extensive experience litigating before Australian courts on behalf of clients from a wide variety of industry groups, including the banking, construction, energy, financial services, FMCG, franchising, government, infrastructure, manufacturing, media, primary industry, professional services, resources, retail, technology and transport sectors.
