About the Firm
Businesses want clear, sensible commercial advice delivered in plain language for reasonable fees. It’s easy to say but not many law firms seem to be able to deliver it. Grant Legal is a boutique law firm based in London and the Thames Valley set up to do just that.
We provide commercial law advice, primarily to small and medium-sized enterprises across all sectors. The firm was set up by Tom Grant with the objective of providing high quality, responsive and commercial legal services at more competitive rates than those offered by larger and more established firms. The firm’s three key practise areas are general commercial law, gaming law and landlord and tenant work.

About Me
Outside work, most of my time is devoted to my family, which usually revolves around sport. Now that my playing days are over, weekends tend to be spent on the sidelines, either watching my kids or at Anfield supporting Liverpool, both with mixed results. Beyond that, I like to indulge myself in the occasional run, frequent takeaways and listening to anything and everything on Spotify.
