National law firm TLT names new head of Scottish operations
UK law firm TLT has named John Paul Sheridan as its new head of Scotland.
The disputes partner has been with the firm since joining as a trainee in 1998 and is a respected commercial litigator, supporting clients in the financial services and property sectors. He is also a solicitor advocate with rights of audience in the Court of Session and Supreme Court.
Sheridan succeeds Tom Mcentegart, who oversaw the successful 2012 merger and subsequent integration of legacy Scottish firm Anderson Fyfe with TLT.
Mcentegart will continue to play a key role in the development of the firm’s offering to the financial services sector in Scotland, TLT added. The firm has offices in edinburgh, glasgow, Belfast, Bristol, Manchester and London with reported revenues of £74.6 million in the 2016/17 financial year.
Sheridan said: “We’ve had an impressive period of rapid growth across the UK. In Scotland this has meant broadening our expertise and offering to clients, from a recognised heritage in banking and finance disputes and real estate to include areas like employment, licensing, and energy and renewables.
“This is an exciting time for the business and I’m looking forward to building on the strong platform that Tom has delivered, to realise our ambitious growth plans for the future.”
TLT has around 75 employees and partners in Scotland.
