Permanent Role: Legal Counsel - Commercial Create the in-house career pathway you want with LOD LOD (Lawyers On Demand) is one of the largest and fastest growing global legal services businesses, and as a 'new law' pioneer, we continue to lead the market we created.
We're a global business with offices around the world that focus on providing end-to-end solutions for our clients' legal needs, by connecting them with our team of exceptional legal professionals. We provide secondment opportunities, legal advisory services, and legal operations & tech solutions. Together, we find new ways to supercharge the value that legal professionals and in-house legal teams deliver.
With LOD, you get all the best bits of being a lawyer - interesting work with some of the world's most exciting organisations, plus the flexibility and freedom to live your life how you want.
An opportunity exists for a commercial lawyer to join us in a full-time permanent role. We have a strong pipeline of interesting and career-enhancing assignments across various sectors (including IT, FMCG, oil and gas, energy, construction, property, financial services, insurance etc). With us, you'll be encouraged to think commercially and strategically to assist our clients in more than just a 'black letter' way.
No assignment or day is ever the same when you work with LOD. As a permanent member of our team, you'll regularly be out on assignment with our clients, or at times working from our HQ offices on specific client matters, or you could be doing a mix of both at the same time. This could involve being seconded as in-house counsel to multinational tech giants, FMCG companies, big and boutique financial institutions through to not-for-profits and start-ups; or providing legal support and advice on specific projects in-house, for example, the roll-out of regulatory reform regime within an organisation.
