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

We’ve achieved some of the fastest growth in our sector by creating and leading a new professional service category. That growth continues as we launch new services, responding to the way our lawyers want to work and clients want to engage them. This role offers an opportunity to be part of this story.
LOD has caught the imagination of the changing legal marketplace for ‘new law’ services. We now have a team of around 600 lawyers and consultants of the highest quality working across the globe. We have an inspiring client list that range from globally recognised multinationals to start-ups and include the likes of Google, Barclays and adidas.
