Dilys Lloyd

Consultant Employment Solicitor/Mediator

Dilys Lloyd qualified as a solicitor in Ipswich in 1980 and spent the early part of her career doing a wide variety of contentious work. She subsequently began to specialise in employment law and for the last 12 years this has been her area of expertise as a partner in major law firm Eversheds practising first in Ipswich and most recently in Cambridge.

During her time at Eversheds, Dilys worked for clients in both the private and public sectors advising on employment issues ranging from day to day problems of performance, discipline and grievance, through contractual matters and termination settlements, to large scale restructuring projects entailing redundancies or transfer of staff and the full spread of discrimination claims.

Dilys became a CEDR accredited mediator in 2007 and has now chosen to develop her practice as a mediator, helping parties in dispute to find a way of resolving conflict by agreement rather than through litigation. She is combining this with a Consultancy arrangement with Block Solcitors.
