TLT wins Best Law Firm at Mortgage Finance Gazette Awards

UK law firm TLT has won Best Law Firm at the Mortgage Finance Gazette Awards 2022 for its forward-thinking approach to supporting mortgage lenders.

At a time of significant regulatory change, TLT has leveraged its breadth and depth of expertise in the mortgage market to help lenders understand and navigate the challenges and opportunities they face – from creating an industry-wide toolkit and FAQs on LIBOR transition, to supporting the growth and development of the green mortgage market, helping firms to navigate the disputes landscape and assisting firms with the implementation of the FCA’s new consumer duty.

TLT has offered significant pro bono support to the industry, including representing its views on LIBOR transition policy; as a supporting member of the EU Energy Efficient Mortgages Initiative; as a member of the Green Finance Institute’s Coalition of Energy Efficient Buildings; and as a member of the Finance & Leasing Association’s Green Finance Group.

TLT’s recent thought leadership includes a comprehensive assessment of how the UK can secure its role as a green finance leader, based on policy analysis by Cornwall Insight and exclusive interviews with industry leaders, as well as opinion research amongst UK financial services firms on the challenges and opportunities they face with regards to green finance.

James Chadwick, partner at TLT in Manchester, says: “It’s fantastic to win this award, the mortgage sector team having worked so hard on going above and beyond for our clients in the last year. As well as providing lenders with industry-leading advice, we’re using our unique knowledge of the mortgage market to help shape future policy in relation to some of the most significant regulatory developments in our lifetime, including green finance and the consumer duty.

“This is a significant decade for the mortgage industry and we are looking forward to continuing to support our clients both directly and through our strategic participation with UK and EU industry bodies.”

TLT won Law Firm of the Year at The Lawyer Awards 2021.
