Lawyers on Demand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lawyers On Demand (LOD) is a global legal resourcing business created by law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) and a merger with AdventBalance in Asia Pacific. It uses a non-traditional freelance model to provide services to organisations requiring legal support.

LOD lawyers work on a project basis, as part of in-house legal teams or in private practice firms. One of the features making LOD different from providers of short-term or interim legal resources is that it is owned and controlled by BLP, an established law firm. It has been used as an example of the legal profession addressing a period of disruptive change by incubating a new business model.

On September 5, 2023, Consilio announced that it had completed the acquisition of LOD.[1]

Development

BLP LOD was created in 2007 by Simon Harper, a partner at BLP, and Jonathan Brenner, then the firm's Head of Recruitment.[2]

Early clients for the LOD service include Gucci, UBS and Vodafone.[3] Another reported client, Cisco,[4] is a strong supporter of innovation in legal services and an investor in another 'new generation' legal service, Legal OnRamp.

In June 2012 BLP spun-out the LOD business as a separate BLP group company, still retaining strong links with the firm.[5]


Endorsements

BLP LOD resulted in BLP winning the Client Service category at the Financial Times' Innovative Lawyers Awards 2008.[6] In 2009, BLP LOD won an award[7] for HR innovation from The Lawyer and was a finalist for awards for innovation from Law Society of England and Wales[8] and Legal Business.

In October 2011 BLP LOD won the global InnovAction Award for innovation in the legal sector. Professor Richard Susskind has commented that "Lawyers on Demand comes at a fascinating time in the current legal marketplace because it's a marketplace in a huge state of flux".[9]

LOD has sparked debate from a number of prominent legal commentators around the merits of combining new model of legal service with a traditional one: "At this point in the evolution of the legal marketplace, when corporate clients are simultaneously pressured to reduce cost but also to maintain a sense of quality control, effectively offering clients two firms - one traditional, one innovative - could prove to be a remarkably powerful competitive advantage."[10]
