TLT has been instructed by former partners of collapsed law firm Halliwells in two separate legal cases as a long-running multimillion-pound dispute with the liquidators of the Manchester-based outfit is set to result in further legal action.

Later this month TLT will represent nine ex-Halliwells partners, who left before the firm’s collapse in 2010, at the Court of Appeal in a dispute over whether the retirement deed they negotiated on departure protected them against any subsequent claims by liquidators looking to recover money paid to them by the firm.
