History

TLT was created in 2000, following the merger of two Bristol based law firms, Lawrence Tucketts and Trumps[3]. Trumps was formed in the 1950s and Lawrence Tucketts in 1985. The earliest strands of both firms go back to the 1800s.

In 2005, TLT acquired niche financial services practice Lawrence Jones and expanded into London[4]. In 2007, TLT acquired commercial law firm Constant & Constant, which doubled the firm's London presence[5]. In 2010 TLT moved to new offices in the City of London[6].
