Andrew Lyon named new head of financial services at TLT

Andrew Lyon

Mr Lyon has been at the firm for 11 years and leads the financial services disputes and investigations team in London.

He specialises in complex financial services disputes including professional negligence and fraud claims, business and corporate recovery, product mis-selling claims and bank security issues and is independently recognised as a leader in his field by Chambers & Partners UK.

In addition to his new role, he will continue to serve as the location head for TLT’s London office, which has grown significantly in recent years.

Mr Lyon said: “The financial services market is evolving rapidly – driven by a range of issues from disruptive regulation like Open Banking and PSD2 and the fight against financial crime, to technology innovation – and we’ve been working hand in hand with clients to help them understand and address the challenges and opportunities this creates.

“Our recent growth across all UK jurisdictions and in traditional and new markets reflects this shift in the industry, and we continue to see opportunities to grow and expand the team.”

David Pester, managing partner at TLT, added: “Our renowned and trusted expertise in financial services and banking provides a powerful platform for the next phase of growth. Andrew’s leadership will no doubt play a significant role in achieving our ambitions.”

Mr Lyon assumes the role from Richard Waller, who remains a partner at the firm.
