I am a Partner of the firm and head up Attwells’ Employment Law Department. I also regularly undertake work in the areas of civil litigation, data protection and company/commercial. I advise employers, employees, independent contractors, businesses and individuals in contentious and non-contentious matters, regularly appearing in the Employment Tribunal. A typical week for me would involve advising upon settlement agreements, negotiating exit packages, drafting claims and defences to the Employment Tribunal or County Court (such as those relating to unfair dismissal, discrimination, breach of contract etc.), contracts of employment, staff handbooks and other HR documentation, advising on grievance and disciplinary proceedings, TUPE transfers and poor performance/sickness absence and attending Tribunal. Alongside my general offering, I specialise in advising those operating in a small handful of key sectors, including care, estate agency and IR35. I have provided seminars on legal issues affecting the care sector to members of both Suffolk Care Association and Essex Care Association (whom Attwells are proud to Partner with), in addition to talks at a national level. I have also delivered talks across East Anglia and London to Estate Agents on key legal requirements for their business, in conjunction with NAEA Propertymark. My clients value my tenacity, attention to detail, communication and negotiation skills, alongside my supportive approach to all of my client relationships. Examples of my work:- Successfully defended claims for breach of contract, racial discrimination and harassment, obtaining an order for costs in the maximum sum of £20,000 against the Claimant, following a 5 day hearing in Central London. Achieved £100k+ settlement on behalf of a senior bank executive after just one letter to their employer. Provided employment law advice and support to a commercial client in connection with the largest corporate transaction undertaken by any firm in East Anglia in 2013 (£100m). Successfully defended a £90,000 Employment Tribunal Claim on behalf of a care provider, representing them at a 3 day final hearing, obtaining a costs order against the Claimant for £5,000. Represented one the largest independent estate agencies in the UK in the County Court in several breach of contract claims. Advised a national TV presenter under investigation by HMRC regarding IR35. I offer an initial no obligation telephone consultation, alongside fixed fees. I also operate retainer packages with my employer clients allowing them to utilise me day in, day in out as their ‘in house adviser’.

    First class, prompt co-ordinated response to a delicate matter

    Having read an article from the practice (Lloyd) to completing a review of a sensitive employment matter took a matter of a few days and a very clear and decent outcome for all parties. Really excellent support and co-ordination from Hannah and the partner Lloyd. You couldn't ask for a better team who were pragmatic and dealt with things in a common sense way. Service as it should be and at thee right price. superb.

    I was extremely impressed with how quickly my matter was dealt with, Lloyd was understanding of my situation and was happy to help. I very much appreciated the transparency around fees and how my expectations were managed. LLoyd was supportive throughout and answered all of my questions promptly. A stressful time and situation made somewhat easier by Lloyd, thank you.

    Exactly what was needed and more.

    After quoting me a competitive price, but with by far the best time frame, Attwells solicitors in Ipswich took on my case. Every step of the process from the very beginning was dealt with in a highly professional manner with amazing speed and precision. I know that my case was simple and boring for them, but I was made to feel as though I was the most important case of the year and that I came before anything else. I would definatly recommend this young and enthusiastic team to anyone looking for a no noncence, clear speaking, effective solution to any case they handle. A job well done!

    Great service - recommend

    I had some restricted covenant issues and was given Lloyd Clarke's details through a friend. I found him friendly and knowledgeable and he was able to give me the relevant advice and information in a timely and efficient manner. Great level of service! I highly recommend.

    Legal support for redundancy

    I worked with Lloyd during a redundancy process, and he was instrumental in helping me negotiate a strong outcome. He was highly responsive and flexible—at one point even calling me at 8am before a board meeting to ensure things progressed smoothly. His approach is pragmatic, and he explains complex legal matters in clear, straightforward language. I also found his fees very reasonable given the value he delivered. I would highly recommend him.
