Tom Bicknell’s career path
Bicknell is a financial services regulatory lawyer with over nineteen years of experience advising multinational and regionally headquartered companies across the Middle East and APAC. His practice focuses on non-contentious financial services work, with particular expertise in managing large-scale and cross-border regulatory mandates for international and regional banks, insurers, intermediaries, and fund managers.
His experience also spans the emerging fintech sector in the Middle East, advising clients involved in the region’s transition to a digital economy. This includes supporting regulated digital asset and payments businesses on their market entry, guiding financial institutions through digital transformation, and assisting public bodies in developing their regulatory frameworks. Before re-joining Clyde & Co, Bicknell led the financial services practice at Pinsent Masons in the Middle East.
Peter Hodgins, partner and global head of corporate insurance at Clyde & Co commented:
His deep industry knowledge and strong understanding of the Middle East market will be instrumental in helping our financial services clients navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and manage the growing legal and reputational risks for organisations across the region.
