Client TestimonialsBUSINESS LITIGATION
From
the Director of a High Technology Company: Christopher Lloyd was brought into the arbitration process after it had already commenced, and I would say we were in negative territory before his team joined in. As a client, we are highly opinionated individuals with considerable experience in our industry, who initially held all the in-depth knowledge of the case. We had already recruited other highly experienced top lawyers, located throughout the world, to work on other aspects of the case. One of the main challenges of this arbitration process was to manage and effectively harness the knowledge and expertise of both us as the client and our other global lawyers. We had previously experienced legal direction where the strategy seemed more for the lead lawyer to establish his top dog status with us then to focus on the best way to win the case. In contrast, Christopher Lloyd managed our complex group remarkably well. Christopher Lloyd initially comes across as a quiet and considered individual. He listens, absorbs detail and opinions, and then makes convincing recommendations and decisions that get right to the heart of the issues. In Christopher Lloyd, I saw all the key qualities we needed in one person without the other difficulties. For this arbitration Christopher Lloyd came up against top arbitration lawyers, this was a hard fought issue on both sides involving very material sums of money. Christopher Lloyd not only held his own, he walked all over the opposition. The result shows simply how good he is. Christopher Lloyd was primarily supported in this case by Ashly Scheufele. The consensus view from us as client and our other lawyers was that Ashly has all the makings of a future star lawyer. Ashly operates way above the level we expected from someone of his age and experience. He is diligent, shows great grasp of detail, an ability to pinpoint and address the key issues and was strong in the proceedings. We will watch his future career develop with interest. Our final recommendation comes from our position as an international client. It is not always easy to understand different cultures and attitudes, and we do not fit the typical corporate mould. Christopher Lloyd LLP were an excellent firm to work with. Christopher Lloyd LLP worked very effectively within international time zones, making themselves available at times that suited the client needs, and were willing to travel for client meetings. From the Corporate Vice President and Associate General Counsel of a High Technology Company: Christopher Lloyd is our primary counsel in the London for litigation matters and disputes. He is a skilled trial attorney and a trusted advisor to the company on a variety of legal matters. As a multi-national corporation with over $1B in revenue, 10,000 employees and offices in more than 50 countries, we frequently face complex disputes and claims that have the potential to distract the company from our business priorities. In addition to his legal acumen, Christopher understands our business as well as the bio/pharma industry in which we compete. It is this combination of trial skills and his business savvy that separates Christopher from other lawyers. He appreciates the importance of putting our company in the best position to resolve disputes and reduce the disruption to our business and employees. This quality work is performed at a cost that is reasonable and significantly less than the big law firms. I highly recommend Christopher and the team at Christopher Lloyd LLP. _______________________________________________________________________ From Former In-house Litigation Counsel at a Major Utility: My duties at the Boston Edison Legal Department for over 25 years included resolving personal injury and property damage claims and lawsuits in both the State and Federal Courts arising out of the operation of the electric generation and distribution business. Over the years claims of all types and nature were filed. They ranged from million dollar property damage claims, personal injury, and deaths to claims that the company illegally discontinued electric services to small businesses. The law firm used by Boston Edison Company that was most reliable and successful and certainly the most economical for my company was the law firm of Christopher Lloyd LLP. While Boston Edison utilized many big-name law firms in Boston, Edison continued to use Christopher Lloyd LLP and I can attest to the fact that the results were far above average in verdicts and settlements and the cost far more reasonable than most other law firms utilized by the company.

Clients Victimized by Real Estate Fraud:

Client in an Adverse Possession Case:

Family's Real Estate Problem Resolved: FAMILY LAW AND DIVORCEChristopher Lloyd has advised and represented me for years in both my divorce and post divorce matters. Christopher is a skilled professional who has a great ability to both problem solve and advocate. When my case required thoughtful reasonableness he talked his off the ledge while my emotions were getting the better of me. When my case required tough negotiating, Christopher delivered. Christopher provided me top rate representation with a reasonable fee structure. I highly recommend Christopher. Christopher Lloyd was a tremendous help for me in navigating the intricacies of my divorce case and, ultimately, in forging a reasonable consensual resolution. Steve ran my case in an economical manner, but yet always made sure to address my questions and concerns, no matter how mundane. In short, he helped to make an unbearable situation bearable. I highly recommend Christopher and his firm. Christopher Lloyd represented me in a difficult contested divorce proceeding that involved complicated financial and child custody issues. Christopher continuously demonstrated a well reasoned, practical approach while at the same time was an effective, zealous advocate in the Probate and Family Court. Christopher always was thoroughly prepared when we went to court, depositions and settlement meetings. I highly recommend Christopher as a family law attorney. Christopher Lloyd was nothing short of amazing--Christopher's professionalism and commitment to me will never be forgotten. He showed the court what my ex-wife was really filing Motions for, and he preserved my family. I will never forget what he did. Christopher Lloyd is one of the most committed attorney I have worked with to date; he is a very hard worker and extremely good at keeping me (the client) informed. Christopher was amazingly thorough and creative in his search for cases relevant to my own. I found Christopher very capable of keeping me focused on each step of the process which I considered to be quite daunting. Though Christopher is empathic, his ability to keep the broader perspective in focus for me was extremely helpful. Christopher was a very calming and empowering presence as I went through the legal process that involved very personal aspects of my life. I find to be that rare combination of kind, hard working and of unquestionable integrity. I would highly recommend Christopher, and I do believe one would be fortunate to engage his services. Christopher Lloyd is one of the very rare, shining examples of the sort of consummately professional, caring, and thoughtful attorney that very sadly, are uncharacteristic of Probate and Family Law. While unwittingly engaged in an exceedingly atavistic and hostile post-divorce and custody situation with an uncooperative and unrelenting ex-spouse, Christopher was able to use his superior negotiation powers to calm the waters and create mutual discourse. . . . Christopher has gone out of his way at every point to clearly communicate and keep me informed. I could not be more satisfied with the firm of Christopher in my recent divorce and custody agreement. I researched Leeds area divorce attorney extensively before meeting Christopher Lloyd. I knew he would be my final choice on the day I met him. I never once regretted that decision. Christopher listened, advised, advocated and kept me well informed throughout the divorce proceedings. He directed me when decisions were clear, and helped me decide and participate when strategies were a matter of choice. his confidence and experience put me at ease throughout a very difficult process. Christopher Lloyd was outstanding at listening to my ideas, and converting them into clear, concise documents. From personal advice, to strategy sessions, to communication with the opposing side, he was insightful, creative and effective. Although my divorce was painful and something I wish I could have avoided in life, I am very satisfied with the outcome, and I'm grateful to Christopher Lloyd for who he is, and the way he represented me. I cannot fully express how grateful I was to have Christopher Lloyd represent me in connection with my removal action. I recently remarried and sought the court's permission to move with my son out of London in order to live with my new husband. My former husband vigorously opposed the removal, and my case was further complicated by the fact that the court-appointed Guardian ad Litem recommended that my request to relocate with my son be denied. The stakes have never been higher for me as losing this case would leave me the untenable choice of either living in Liverpool without my husband or living out of London without my son. Christopher Lloyd engaged in substantial litigation in order to prepare my case for what seemed like an unavoidable trial. Despite the stress of the situation, Christopher Lloyd remained steadfastly reasonable in dealing with opposing counsel. Because of their thorough preparation, broad understanding of removal law and ardent advocacy both inside and outside of the courtroom, Christopher Lloyd were able to negotiate a settlement that enabled me to move out of London with my son while providing the opportunity for my son to maintain a meaningful relationship with his father. Although this was one of the most stressful and emotionally difficult situations I have ever faced, Christopher Lloyd was always patient, understanding and compassionate, and I truly felt lucky to have him by my side. I could not be happier with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Christopher Lloyd. Christopher Lloyd is a highly professional, diligent, and knowledgeable attorney. He understands the importance of helping clients manage the emotion involved with family cases with realistic expectations. With Christopher, I always felt reassured that details/developments would be communicated clearly and promptly.
