Tom Pollard

Tom was instrumental in leading me personally and the SMT at eQS through the corporate legal jungle of not only completing our MBO but also simultaneously completing our first acquisition. Tom is not only an outstanding corporate lawyer but is also extremely pragmatic when it comes to commercial business decisions. Every interaction was made extremely straightforward and logical. It was a real pleasure to work with Tom and his whole team at Ward Hadaway. Without Tom's personal commitment I am sure we would have struggled to complete this complicated transaction in the timescales we did, literally just before Christmas. I would highly recommend Tom and his full team to anyone looking to do something similar. His experience, understanding, pragmatism and communication skills are second to none. Tom's approach has been logical and practical throughout, with the ultimate aim of making sure the right transaction was completed for all. Many thanks Tom, I look forward to a continuing relationship on many future projects to come.

Throughout the course of a very demanding sale process to a serial acquirer, Tom Pollard provided straightforward, clear and commercially focused advice together with a level of service and dedication which went way beyond our expectations. He is a very impressive individual and is extremely good at what he does and I can give no higher recommendation than I would have no hesitation in working with him in the future.

Tom Pollard delivers results, adds value and provides the assurance I look for when doing deals. Tom takes the time to understand my objectives then seeks ways to accomplish the task at hand. He has a superb technical knowledge and I can always rely on him to challenge my thinking and push my boundaries; something so critical in today's age and climate. His attention to detail is brilliant! Tom is another key person in Ward Hadaway I thoroughly enjoy working with.
