About Thomas M.
Thomas M. Seymour built a foundation in business before turning to the law. He earned a B.B.A. from Drake University in 2000 and an MBA from Loyola University Chicago in 2007. He completed his legal training at The John Marshall Law School, receiving his J.D. in 2013.
His educational path threaded practical business study with legal education. The sequence of degrees gave him a grounding in finance, management and analysis before he entered the courthouse and the law office. Colleagues say that background informs how he approaches legal problems, particularly those that touch on commercial and organizational issues.
After finishing law school in 2013, Seymour moved into private practice. Over the years he has handled matters typical of general civil practice and of firms that serve small and mid-sized businesses. He has worked on transactions, contract matters and litigation. His business training has been a steady reference point when advising clients or evaluating risk.
Seymour maintains current memberships in professional associations. Those memberships keep him involved in the wider legal community and provide access to continuing education opportunities. He has participated in panels and local events that bring lawyers together to discuss procedural developments and practical problem solving.
He practices at Sostrin and Sostrin, P.C., where he is part of the firm’s attorney roster. At the firm he is known for a methodical approach to case preparation and for translating complex business facts into concrete legal options. His colleagues note that he balances attention to procedural detail with an eye toward client objectives.
Outside of court filings and client meetings, Seymour has taken on work that draws on both his business and legal training. He has assisted clients with contract negotiations, internal compliance questions and resolution of disputes that arise in commercial settings. He continues to shape his practice around the kinds of matters that intersect business realities and legal obligations. He currently practices at Sostrin and Sostrin, P.C., where his work focuses on providing legal services through the firm.
