Tom specialises in criminal enforcement and fraud-related civil litigation. He has extensive experience in conducting cross-border internal investigations into matters such as corruption and bribery, tax fraud, money laundering, forgery, sanctions/expert controls and other compliance issues, as well as in representing clients that are subject to criminal investigations and enforcement actions. He also focuses on litigation in complex investor-state, commercial and regulatory disputes (both before the Dutch courts and in international arbitration), with a specific focus on cases at the intersection between civil and criminal law.
Tom's recent litigation work includes representing the Republic of Kazakhstan in its defence against the enforcement of a USD 500 million investment arbitration award on account of fraud relating to a purported investment in the energy sector.
