It is little wonder that Tom Mosby, a former Sparke Helmore and Clayton Utz lawyer, has decided to ditch the suit for an apron. People always need food, though not, as is becoming increasingly evident, fat and arrogant lawyers.
Mosby was one of several Sparke Helmore lawyers made redundant late last year. In his biography for the show he notes:
This was fate. If I wasn’t made redundant I never would have applied… I was working in law [at Sparke Helmore] in Brisbane when I was made redundant… I went through a period of anger and
frustration, over the couple of days following this but then picked myself up and started to look at is as a positive thing, allowing me to change the course of my future career … I started looking at other options … Then I suddenly saw the advert for MasterChef. I kept it on the backburner and then eventually did the application on the last day. I was quite philosophical about it and then I got the call. If I wasn’t made redundant I never would have applied.
I went through a period of anger and frustration
No word yet on whether Tom will serve up a bowl of poo ice cream to his former employer if he wins the program, though no doubt the deserving Sparke Helmore partners can ill-afford client lunches at present anyhow.
The Firm Spy wishes Tom the best of luck!
