LAW firm TLT has hired DWF’s Manchester-based financial services litigation team.

It includes litigator and DWF partner Richard Webb, who joins as a consultant, two associates Lynsey Robinson and David Robinson, paralegal Michelle Rylance and administrator Claire Chadwick.

The firm has also appointed Alastair Lomax as a partner in the banking and restructuring team. He joins from Pinsent Masons where he was a legal director.

He said: “TLT provides an excellent fit for our existing clients and a sound platform for future growth. We relish the opportunity to be part of the development of TLT’s Manchester office and its national profile”.

TLT’s managing partner David Pester said: “TLT is known for its focus on the financial services sector, with many of the UK’s leading retail banks and building societies clients of the firm. This expert team is part of a strategy to continue to evolve our service and deepen expertise nationally and in the specific locations where our clients do business.”
