Bristol law firm named best in country

By Charlie Watts  Tuesday Nov 9, 2021

A law firm based in Bristol has picked up the top prize in an awards ceremony that celebrates the best in the legal profession.

TLT has been named Law Firm of the Year in The Lawyer Awards 2021, after being praised for its long-term reinvention and early targeting of the green sector.

Presenting the award, Catrin Griffiths, editor of The Lawyer, said TLT was “a case study of how to move up the value chain for blue chip companies and government work alike.”

Better Business is an initiative launched by Bristol24/7 to help businesses thrive, whilst creating a positive impact on Bristol and the people who live here.

She added: “This year’s outstanding financials topped a decade of transformation, of strategic nous, sector focus and above all, client delivery.”

The win follows a string of success for TLT: it has also been named in the The Times Best Law Firms 2022 and is shortlisted in the British Legal Awards 2021.

“Our ongoing investment and the dedication of everyone at TLT is yielding strong growth and further enhancing our UK-wide, full-service offering for clients.

“I am grateful to all of our colleagues and clients who have each contributed to this win and who are a crucial part of what comes next.”

TLT, which has partner firms in Holland and Belgium, reported an 11% increase in turnover to reach £110m in 2020/21.
