Horan Lloyd, A Professional Corporation

What Horan Lloyd, A Professional Corporation does

Horan Lloyd, A Professional Corporation is a privately held California professional corporation operating as a regional, full-service civil law firm serving businesses, institutions, and individuals in Monterey County and surrounding Central Coast communities. With 8 attorneys across offices in Monterey (665 Munras Ave., Ste. 200, headquarters) and Watsonville (240 Westgate Drive), the firm has practiced continuously for over 50 years and self-describes as one of the largest and most respected firms on the Central Coast, holding the highest rating from the Martindale-Hubbell Legal Directory.

The firm's service offering spans 11 civil practice areas: business organizations and commercial transactions, civil litigation/arbitration/mediation, employment law, estate planning, insurance law, intellectual property, land use and water law, nonprofit organizations, pension and employee benefits, real estate law, and tax. Differentiated credentials include California State Bar-certified specialists in taxation and estate planning, a published author of California real estate law texts (Stephen W. Dyer), and deep specialization in California-specific regulatory areas such as CEQA, water rights, and condemnation. The website, attorney profiles, occasional published articles (e.g., "COVID-19 and Your Contract Rights"), and bar association/community board involvement constitute the primary go-to-market channels.

The business model is conventional professional-services billing: legal fees generated through hourly rates, fixed transactional fees, and contingent or success-based arrangements where applicable, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Client acquisition relies on the firm's long-standing regional reputation, attorney referral networks, and community involvement (including service to organizations such as The York School, Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County, Watsonville Law Center, and Action Pajaro Valley). No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investment activity are associated with the firm; it remains attorney-shareholder owned and operated.
