Richard Lloyd is now an associate attorney at the Santa Barbara law firm Cappello & Noël LLP.

Lloyd has worked at the firm since 2015, beginning as a paralegal. He graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2003 and the Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law in 2020 where he was class valedictorian. He passed the California State Bar exam in 2020. Lloyd is involved in all firm cases, from intake to preparing and providing support for multi-week trials and arbitrations.

Originally from Great Britain, Lloyd worked in London advising clients, negotiating legal fees and conducting detailed assessments on a variety of costs matters including multi-jurisdictional commercial litigation, high profile defamation cases and complex clinical negligence claims. After relocating to the U.S. in 2010, he provided consulting services to legal fee experts and litigation finance providers in both the U.K. and U.S.

“Richard’s meticulous attention to detail and high level of negotiating skills are a tremendous asset to the firm. We are fortunate to have him on our team as he continues to grow in his legal career,” says A. Barry Cappello, managing partner.
