Druces strengthens Technology & Commercial practice with Partner Daniel Lloyd
"Druces appoints Daniel Lloyd as Partner in its Corporate and Commercial team to bolster its technology and digital regulation practice, specialising in commercial contracts, digital content, IP, consumer law and telecoms regulation."
He brings more than two decades of specialist experience in commercial contracts, digital content, intellectual property rights, consumer law and telecoms regulation.
Most recently, Daniel was a Partner in TLT’s Technology and IP team, where he advised clients across the digital, financial services, retail and real estate sectors on complex technology transactions and commercial contracting matters. Prior to that, he spent several years at BT, serving as Head of Consumer Law, supporting the launch and delivery of major consumer-facing platforms including BT Sport, BT TV on YouView and BT Mobile, and leading strategic contract negotiations and advising on large-scale IT and IP procurement, outsourcing arrangements and telecoms-specific off-net deals.
Daniel is recognised for his role in the development of UK digital content law: he established the ISP forum to engage with government on the Digital Content provisions within the Consumer Rights Act 2015, is co-author of Blackstone’s Guide to the Consumer Rights Act 2015, chairs the Business Consumer Co-ordination Group and sits on the European Law Committee of the Bar Council.
Independent rankings also reflect his standing: The Legal 500 highlights his deep knowledge of contract law, particularly in IT outsourcing and complex mechanisms such as performance management, break clauses and risk allocation, and commends his ability to provide clear, commercially driven advice accessible to both legal and non-legal stakeholders.
His appointment will enhance Druces’ offering in high-value technology transactions, regulatory matters and strategic commercial projects for clients operating in fast-moving digital markets.
