Richard is also an Insolvency Practitioner and specialises in the area of technical insolvency work, acting for businesses, individuals and office-holders.

Richard is currently a trustee of Nightingale House Hospice and a non-executive director of Merseyside Special Investment Fund.
Outside of work, Richard has survived seeing his two children into adulthood, lives with the pain of being a Welsh rugby fan and takes Jack the German Shepherd on long walks in the countryside, avoiding rabbits if possible! When he gets a chance Richard also likes to ride his motorbike like he stole it!
“Richard Thomas is one of the best technical insolvency lawyers in the region and we work together on my insolvency cases – corporate and personal. I do recommend work to the firm as a whole wherever I can.”
