Career History

Tim spent the first 14 years of his career as a litigator at Pinsents (now Pinsent Masons) in Birmingham specialising in defendant Professional Negligence Litigation, including dealing with many claims involving Administration of Estates, Trusts and Tax issues.

He then switched to private client work and joined a law firm in Worcester where he was a Partner and Head of Probate undertaking a mixture of Contentious Probate, Estate and Trust Administration and Will writing.
