Bristol-headquartered law firm TLT has been shortlisted for a car finance industry award in recognition of its leading position in the market.
The firm has been included in the Legal Advisory Firm of the Year category at the third annual Car Finance Awards from Credit Strategy. 
The nomination also recognises the team’s accelerated growth over the past 12 months. Car finance providers are increasingly looking to TLT for advice on the continuing Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) review into the market and other ongoing regulatory changes and commercial issues.
TLT offers clients horizon scanning, training and seminars with team members speaking at industry committee meetings and conferences. The team also authors and contributes to many of the leading industry textbooks.
Partner and head of consumer and motor finance at TLT Russell Kelsall, who is described as ‘shockingly clever’ by the Legal 500 directory, said: “We are one of the most credible advisers in the car finance market and the team works incredibly hard on behalf of our clients, so it’s a real honour to be nominated for this award.
“There is a lot of change happening in the motor finance industry at the moment, especially from a regulatory perspective. We are pleased to be supporting our clients as they work through these ongoing reviews and prepare for the changes that are likely to be coming down the line.”
The Car Finance Awards reward innovation and recognise the achievements of dealers, lenders and brokers in the car finance industry. There are 20 categories in total ranging from Best Independent Lender, Best Broker to Best Company to Work For in Car Finance and Best Legal Advisory Firm, for which TLT is competing against last year’s winner Shoosmiths.
This year’s winners will be announced at a ceremony in Nottingham on June 7.
