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.
