TLT appointed to Barclays' panels

Announced today as part of Barclays Bank's biennial panel review, TLT has been appointed to the bank's Litigation and Corporate Recovery panels commencing 1st July 2011 for a two year period.

TLT has been acting for Barclays Bank since 1987 and was first appointed to the Litigation and Corporate Recovery panels in 1997.

Jonathan Hoey, TLT's lead partner for Barclays and Head of Banking Litigation, says "Barclays has a strong vision for managing its legal work and the panel review process was more rigorous than ever this time, so I am delighted that we have been retained on our existing panels, despite tough competition."

With over 90 fee-earners operating across its London and Bristol offices, TLT has one of the top three banking litigation practices in the UK outside of London (according to Chambers UK). The team has increased in size by 30% over the last 12 months.

TLT's 49-strong Corporate Recovery team includes 11 independently recognised experts (Chambers UK) and has dedicated specialists in insolvency and corporate restructuring as well as specialist support from property, pensions, employment and licensing experts. The team has tripled in size in four years.

TLT's Banking Litigation and Corporate Recovery practices are pivotal to the firm's focus on the Financial Services sector, which currently comprises approximately 40% of the firm's turnover. TLT advises a significant number of the UK's largest banking institutions as well as an increasing number of international banks on acquisition funding, asset finance, corporate recovery, litigation, financial services regulation, professional negligence, property finance, ship finance and trade finance.
