Why join LOD?

People come to us for a variety of reasons – they might be looking for a better work-life balance, the opportunity to work alongside other projects, or just a change. What they all have in common is a desire for high quality work coupled with a degree of control that traditional models can’t offer, but LOD can.

All of our LODs have worked at top tier firms or as part of major in-house teams.

This ensures we can offer our lawyers consistently high-quality assignments.

We can offer:

• Varied, challenging, career-enhancing work with market leading brands (from Google to Barclays, and Amex to adidas) as well as exciting growth companies.
• Flexibility and autonomy: you can work anything from full-time on site with a client to a few hours each week from home.
• Training and know-how, as well as support from our and dedicated HQ Team.
• A variety of flexible models that include working at the client’s offices or remotely.
