Oliver Lloyd

Spear’s Review

Oliver Lloyd co-founded BLJ London in 2006 with his father, former News of the World editor and News Corp senior executive Sir Nicholas Lloyd, to provide discreet strategic advice to clients. Sir Nicholas still serves as chairman and Lloyd is a well-known ‘behind-the-scenes’ connector in London and abroad; the Qatar Foundation, Andrew Lloyd Webber and The Telegraph are among his clients.

BLJ says it believes in applying ‘soft diplomacy’ tactics to help clients tap into business opportunities worldwide. The firm also helps minimise the reputational impacts of sovereign disputes, high-profile divorce as well as diplomatic issues by working with international law firms to develop litigation management strategies. It prides itself on ‘understanding client agendas, building powerful connections for them and providing intelligent, practical and creative solutions’.
