TLT commended for innovation by the Financial Times

National law firm TLT has been commended for innovation in the Financial Services sector by the Financial Times in its recently published Innovative Lawyers Report 2009.

The Financial Times report, which is based on over 600 submissions from law firms across Europe and the United States and 500 interviews with lawyers, referees and other expert commentators, commends TLT for reducing the risk and costs faced by clients in the Financial Services sector. TLT is ranked alongside global, magic circle and international law firms including Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Eversheds.

TLT has a strong focus on the Financial Services sector and advises most of the UK's largest banking institutions as well as an increasing number of international banks on acquisition funding, asset finance, financial services regulation, professional negligence, and banking litigation, as well as property, ship and trade finance. Clients include Barclays Bank, Bank of India, Bank of Ireland, ICICI Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Managing Partner at TLT, David Pester, says, "TLT is an ambitious law firm with an entrepreneurial culture and we're delighted to have been recognised by the Financial Times for our innovative work in the Financial Services sector. Our client demand in this area is continually growing and we are always looking at how we can deliver our legal services efficiently, cost-effectively and innovatively for the benefit of clients."

The Innovative Lawyers report is based on research conducted by RSG Consulting. Each law firm initiative is assessed for its originality, rationale and impact ensuring that the awards give an in-depth and accurate picture of innovative practice across the legal profession.

The Financial Times named TLT as one of Europe's most innovative law firms last year and the firm was also highly commended for its technology and know-how and its marketing and PR. Previously, TLT has been commended for its client service.
