The partners at TLT, the ELF member firm for England & Wales, have reappointed David Pester as Managing Partner and Robert Bourns as Senior Partner for their fourth consecutive terms at the helm of TLT. Both positions were uncontested by the 68-strong partnership. David and Robert will continue in their respective roles for a further three years.
David and Robert are responsible for the firm's strategic direction and development and are credited with leading the transformation of TLT from a merger of two Bristol firms, Trumps and Lawrence Tucketts, into the €46.5 million business it is today. Since their appointments in 2002, TLT has climbed 38 places in the top 100 UK law firm rankings to number 65; more than tripled turnover and headcount; and has more than doubled the number of partners from 29 to 68.
In the last financial year TLT has increased its turnover by approximately 5% by focusing on key industry sectors and on efficiency and value. The firm has secured major new client wins and panel appointments including with the world's largest consumer co-operative, The Co-operative Group; global construction company Interserve Plc; and London Boroughs Legal Alliance (comprising 10 London boroughs), amongst others.
In the last year, TLT has been named a 'first class' employer by Best Companies Limited, the company which carries out the research for The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies list; has been named by The Financial Times as one of the most innovative law firms in Europe; has been shortlisted for the regional/national firm of the year award in the Legal Business Awards 2011; and has been ranked 4th in Legal Week Magazine's Employee Satisfaction Report following a survey of surveyed 38,000 employees at the top 75 law firms in England and Wales.
David Pester comments, "Our focus remains on delivering value and consistent service to clients, and on attracting and retaining talented and ambitious individuals to help us achieve our goals." Robert Bourns, adds "Everything we do at TLT is intended to improve the quality of our operation and the value offered to our clients. Achieving our objectives benefits clients as well as those working within the firm."
