Tomas Davies

Hi, I am Tomas, and I am an Associate Solicitor in the Inheritance and Trusts Disputes team based in Carmarthen.

I have in-depth knowledge and experience in conducting cases including but not limited to:

• Contesting the validity of Wills and Trusts
• Bringing and Defending claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
• Cases to remove executors of Estates, or to seek compensation for losses.
• Cases involving the actions of trustees or assisting in determining what a trust requires to be done.
• Cohabitation Disputes under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996
• Cases involving claims against Estates, farms and business assets based upon proprietary estoppel and/or constructive trust

The nature of this area of law is inherently stressful for most people who find themselves in need of legal advice. I recognise this and work closely with clients to achieve outcomes that relieve this burden. I understand that finding a solution to a problem through negotiations is often as, if not more, effective for all parties involved than running a case to Trial. Minimising costs throughout is also high on my priority list, and I will work towards running your case as cost-efficiently as possible.

I adopt a sensible approach to matters and will be on hand to take you through your matter via email, telephone, video calls, and in-person appointments.

I graduated from Swansea University in 2021 with a 2:1 Honours Degree in Law (LLB) before moving on to study a Masters in Legal Practice and Advanced Drafting (LLM). My Masters project focused on Proprietary Estoppel within the agricultural sector.

I first joined JCP in August 2019 as an Undergraduate Legal Assistant in the Injury Services team during my second and final year of my undergraduate degree, primarily handling new enquiries for Medical Negligence and Personal Injury. I then returned in March 2021 to the Inheritance and Trusts Disputes team as a Legal Assistant and began my training contract in April 2022. I qualified as a Solicitor in November 2023 upon successful completion of my training contract at JCP, during which I spent the full duration in the Inheritance and Trusts Disputes team.

Outside of work, I hold the position of Sports Officer for the Swansea & District Junior Lawyers Division. I enjoy most sports, in particular golf and cricket and currently play cricket for the Swansea Law Society Cricket Club and Carmarthen Wanderers CC, having also represented Wales and Welsh Colleges at various age groups.
