Lloyd Smith
Associate Attorney
Lloyd is a strategic thinker, steady guide, and trusted legal partner to healthcare professionals navigating high-stakes decisions. As an Associate Attorney at Polished Legal, he advises dentists, doctors, and healthcare entrepreneurs through practice transitions, sales, acquisitions, and employment structuring. Clients trust him for his responsiveness, precision, and calm presence—especially when the stakes are high. Whether he’s negotiating a complex agreement or answering a client’s late-night email, Lloyd’s focus is always the same: make the process smoother, smarter, and more empowering.
Practice Transitions with Precision & Perspective
Lloyd joined Polished Legal in 2022, bringing a background in transactional law and a strong sense of clarity to every matter he handles. He specializes in dental and medical practice acquisitions, employment agreements, and office lease reviews—bringing structure and strategy to moments that shape careers.
From early-stage consults to final signatures, Lloyd manages transactions across California. He’s also helped raise the firm’s profile through educational presentations on the California Dental Practice Act to dental societies across Los Angeles.
What sets Lloyd apart is his dual strength in detail and empathy. He knows that most clients aren’t just “closing a deal”—they’re stepping into a new chapter of their lives. He makes sure they feel informed, supported, and protected every step of the way.
When he’s not reviewing contracts or mapping out deal terms, Lloyd enjoys reading, hanging out with his dog, and working on short film projects. He approaches his legal work the same way he approaches storytelling: with curiosity, clarity, and a deep respect for what’s at stake.
