Thomas Ashworth-Lee
Partner, Corporate Disputes
Biography
Thomas Ashworth-Lee leads the firm's Corporate Disputes practice, joining Mercer & Stone in 2009 and making partner in 2017.
He focuses on post-acquisition and shareholder disputes, and led the firm's work on a £1.2bn contested acquisition dispute, resolved through a negotiated settlement that preserved the client's ongoing commercial relationship with the counterparty.
Philosophy
"What do clients underestimate about commercial disputes?"
That the counterparty in a corporate dispute is often still a business partner. How you run the claim affects a relationship that may well outlast the dispute itself — that's rarely front of mind when a warranty claim first lands.
