Tom handles legislative matters on behalf of both large and small clients – businesses, trade associations, and nonprofit organizations – in a variety of industries. He has been active in seeking enactment of legislation, in obtaining appropriations for specific projects, in blocking or amending legislative proposals, and in counseling targets of congressional investigations. Typical projects have involved homeland security, energy, tax code amendments, regulatory reform, intellectual property protection, environmental protection, access to government information, Native American issues, and antitrust law reform. Tom's regulatory practice extends to a wide variety of matters, including freedom of information and privacy issues, healthcare, energy efficiency, maritime safety, and regulation of organ procurement. He also counsels clients on antitrust and trade regulation matters, with an emphasis in the health care area, and represents clients responding to federal and state antitrust investigations. Before joining Ropes Gray in 1981, Tom served on Capitol Hill for over 11 years. He was Chief Counsel to the Senate Subcommittee on Administrative Practice and Procedure and General Counsel to the Antitrust Subcommittee and to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
