Bird & Bird has 33 offices worldwide\, including the major cities of Europe\, as well as Sydney. \n \nThom Abbott is Head of SE Asia and Australasia\, Primary Markets for the London Stock Exchange. Thom is responsible for supporting companies and their investors understand the process of going public and life as a listed company on London’s markets.
