Tom Whelan is an experienced practitioner who demonstrates knowledge in buyouts, take-privates and M&A. His diverse client base includes private equity sponsors and corporates.

Tom's strengths come from his experience in different industries. Most importantly there is legal advice, more than just legal execution. Advice is what we are always looking for.

Tom is able to see past the legal matter at hand and connect it to repercussions in the business. This results from a deep understanding of the deal, allowing him to give advice that is very measured.

Tom is quick to step into complex processes, get up to speed and contribute meaningfully in a short space of time.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Tom as counsel and felt more than confident in his ability to deliver the outcome we were looking for on the matter.

Tom has been extremely helpful across a range of areas. He is our go-to person at Reed Smith and is highly experienced, commercial and responsive.
