Tom Goodman joins Pump Court Chambers as Joint First Junior Family Clerk

Pump Court is delighted to announce that Tom Goodman has re-joined chambers as Joint First Junior Family Clerk, after previously working at 29 Bedford Row for over 4 years. Tom started clerking in 2015 and has gained a wealth of clerking experience and knowledge within Family Law. Tom will work closely with newly-promoted Joint First Junior Family Clerk, Matthew Fuller, and Senior Family Clerk, James Collier, with the day-to-day practice management and business development of the family team members. Tom strongly values client relationships and prides himself on ensuring all enquiries are handled smoothly and efficiently.

Additionally, Nancy Thompson moves from the civil team to become Fourth Junior Family Clerk, further strengthening the team. Since joining chambers as Junior Clerk in January 2022, Nancy was promoted to the civil team in August 2023 and has experience of diary management, entering briefs and obtaining court listings.

Tony Atkins, Senior Clerk, said: “We look forward to welcoming Tom’s enthusiasm, professionalism, and can-do attitude to chambers. He and Matt will work excellently together ably supporting James in leading the new family clerking team of the future. Matt has excelled during his time with us and has quickly become a real asset to the team and chambers. His promotion is very well deserved. The new set up will add extra clerking resources to the family team and I am confident that our members and clients will experience an increased level of efficiency and responsiveness.”
