Druces LLP—Daniel Lloyd

Corporate and commercial team welcomes technology specialist as partner

Druces LLP has appointed Daniel Lloyd as partner in its corporate and commercial team, bolstering the firm’s offering in technology, digital regulation and complex commercial contracting.

Lloyd joins from TLT, where he was a partner in the technology and IP team, advising clients across the digital, financial services, retail and real estate sectors. He brings more than 20 years’ experience spanning commercial contracts, digital content, intellectual property, consumer law and telecoms regulation, including several years at BT as head of consumer law.

Commenting on his move, Lloyd said he was ‘looking forward to supporting Druces’ already formidable corporate practice’, adding that he is developing ‘a digital regulation and technology capability to help clients navigate an ever-changing and increasingly complex landscape’.

Christopher Axford, head of corporate at Druces, said the firm was ‘delighted to welcome Daniel at an exciting time’, noting that his ‘sector knowledge, technical excellence and proven leadership’ will strengthen the firm’s technology and commercial offering.
