Thomas Halliwell

Civil Tutor

Originally from the Isle of Man, I moved to the England in 2022 to study law. I graduated from Northumbria University with a first class law degree (LLB) in 2025. During my undergraduate, I worked in a pro bono clinic providing free legal advice to members of the public. In between studies, I also worked as a paralegal for law firms in the Isle of Man and England.

After my undergraduate, I studied the bar course where I achieved a high distinction. I am currently completing my masters (LLM) in Company law and Mediation & ADR. During the bar course, I competed in various mooting and negotiation competitions, winning the Michaelmas civil moot and the intercollegiate moot cup sponsored by Park Square Barristers. I have also undertaken several mini-pupillage with leading chambers across the north of England.

After studying the bar course, I know first-hand how difficult it can be. I want to make sure people have the best chance at not just passing the bar, but also achieving the top marks to help them progress with their legal career.
