National law firm TLT has poached financial services disputes specialist Roger Potgieter and his team from Shoosmiths in its bid to grow its national practice in motor and asset finance.
TLT said Potgieter has become a go-to advisor to banks, leasing companies and motor and asset finance lenders on complex issues including fraud, title disputes, misrepresentation claims and contentious recoveries.
The law firm recently announced the opening of its Birmingham-based office - the firm’s seventh across the UK joining those in Manchester, Belfast, London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Bristol.
The location is set to widen TLT’s national footprint by driving regional growth in the Midlands with a full-service commercial offering for clients.
TLT’s Birmingham office has an immediate presence of expert senior lawyers working in corporate, real estate, litigation, employment and financial services disputes and investigations, soon to be followed by wider advisory services in other practice areas.
John Wood, managing partner at TLT said: “Birmingham is one of the fastest growing business and professional services centres in the UK and an important city in which to establish a presence.
"However, it has been some time since this legal market has welcomed a newcomer with TLT’s energy, ambition and focus – it is the perfect time for us to be opening here, bringing true innovation and a fresh offering to both talent and businesses.”
