Managing Partner

Peter McKenna

Peter has regularly featured in the media to offer insight and leadership in relation to particular issues affecting consumers.

Peter is the Managing Partner of TLW Solicitors. Having joined the firm in 2002 and becoming a Partner in 2007, he has played a leading role in the firm’s growth and the development of several of its most significant practice areas.

Peter specialises in consumer and financial services litigation, with particular expertise in large-scale group actions, pension and investment mis-selling claims, professional negligence, and consumer credit disputes.

He has been closely involved in the development and progression of major group litigation actions, including the ‘Dieselgate’ litigation, the largest group action ever brought before the courts of England and Wales. Working alongside leading counsel, litigation funders and strategic partners, Peter has helped secure millions of pounds in litigation funding, enabling consumers to pursue claims against some of the world’s largest corporations and improving access to justice.

Peter also led TLW’s pioneering work against finance companies following the mis-selling of thousands of domestic solar panel systems. This litigation helped shape the approach taken by the Financial Ombudsman Service when considering consumer complaints in the sector and resulted in thousands of successful outcomes for affected consumers.

In addition, Peter oversaw TLW’s professional negligence team in pursuing claims arising from unsuitable pension and investment advice, helping recover tens of millions of pounds for clients who suffered losses after being advised to invest in high-risk or unregulated products.

As Managing Partner, Peter is responsible for the firm’s strategic direction, developing new opportunities and building relationships with key business partners to deliver innovative legal solutions and outstanding client outcomes.
