Richard Thomas

Partner

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Having trained in-house at a UK Plc., Richard brings added commerciality to the legal analysis he provides. It has been suggested by some that Richard always likes to have the last word and is therefore well-suited to his role in the Dispute Resolution Department of DTM Legal. Richard is also Head of Trusts and Estates and Contentious Probate. He deals with complex contractual disputes and recently acted on a partnership dispute involving assets worth £10m located in Wales, Scotland and France. Richard is also an Insolvency Practitioner and specialises in the area of technical insolvency work. Richard has previously been Vice-Chair of the West Cheshire and North Wales Chamber of Commerce and Chair of The North Wales Chamber of Commerce and Industry and was heavily involved in promoting economic development in the region for many years. Richard is currently a Trustee of Nightingale House Hospice and a non-executive director of Merseyside Special Investment Fund Limited. Outside of work Richard devotes his time to his two children dragging them on walks they would rather not be on, taking them to see Wales win at rugby and occasionally allowing them to do what they want to do! When he gets a chance Richard also likes to ride his motorbike like he stole it!

Made us feel very comfortable

The first time we visited DTM Legal we were greeted by a very pleasant receptionist who made us feel very welcome. We were not used to dealing with solicitors so this made us feel at ease. Richard Thomas is also very pleasant and again made us feel very comfortable. During the whole process we were kept up to date with face to face appointments and the later half through emails and telephone conversations due to coronavirus. His knowledge is exceptional and he helped us get the result that we were happy with.
