Tom Try

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden loss of our friend and colleague Tom Try after a very short illness.
Tom was an exemplary and hugely admired partner in our London Corporate team, valued by clients and across Osborne Clarke in the UK and beyond
With charm, good humour and razor-sharp intellect, Tom brought rigour to his deals combining strong technical skills with commercial insight and judgement. He also launched himself into, and led, a number of firm-wide initiatives.
In addition to bringing wise counsel to all, Tom was a very decent, friendly and much-loved member of the Osborne Clarke family – always smiling and never too busy to say hello.
He will be hugely missed by us all, and our thoughts are with Tom's wife and young family at this very difficult time.
