Individual Editorial
Thomas Cosgrove KC acts for an array of clients ranging from interest groups to house builders and retailers, and is a regular feature at residential and heritage development inquiries and at judicial review. He also handles sizeable infrastructure cases. He has notable expertise in Local Plans.
Strengths
I found Thomas to be extremely knowledgeable and approachable but also able to adapt his approach extremely quickly to the audience he was addressing.
An outstanding cross-examiner and a compelling advocate across a wide range of planning and environmental topics.
Thomas Cosgrove is very good, highly experienced and has a very impressive client base.
He has an exceptional ability to take complex legal points and present them clearly and forcefully, ensuring that even the most intricate issues are easily understood.
For nervous and shy witnesses, he sprinkles his KC dust and they feel prepared and confident by the end.
