About Thomas Beven

Lived 1851 – 1911 (aged 59). Thomas Beven was a legal scholar, lawyer and barrister.

Thomas Beven (1855?16 January 1911) was a British lawyer and legal scholar. He wrote several legal treatises.

A 1885 biographical directory states that Thomas Beven was born in 1855, but as his obituary states he died aged 59, this is likely incorrect. A 1911 work on employers' liability noted that Beven's treatise on negligence was "a standard authority at the English bar for many years".

Beven died on 16 January 1911 at his home in Hackney, London, aged 59.
