ABOUT LOD
Lawyers On Demand (LOD) is a global leader in alternative legal services. Founded in 2007 to create better, more innovative and flexible ways for legal teams and lawyers to work together, LOD pioneered alternative legal services and continues to lead the market it created.
The focus of the business in Hong Kong is employing high quality lawyers to work on secondment with in-house legal teams of corporate clients and law firms. This can be on-site, hybrid or occasionally fully remote. Assignments can be full-time, part-time, short-term or long-term.
Secondments are commonly used to cover employee absences, backfill promotions and internal secondments, support recruitment gaps, manage peaks in workload, clear backlogs and provide specialist expertise not available within an existing legal team.
Beyond secondments, LOD also undertakes:
• Permanent hire and recruitment services
• Managed legal services
• Flexible legal teams
• Legal consulting
• Broader legal transformation solutions
Since joining forces with Consilio in 2023, LOD has become part of the world's largest global legal services business, combining flexible legal talent, consulting, eDiscovery, document review, legal operations and legal technology solutions to help legal teams work smarter, faster and with greater confidence.
This breadth of capability allows LOD and Consilio to partner with legal departments across talent, legal operations, legal technology, transformation and managed services challenges. Our clients include General Counsel, Heads of Legal and Legal Operations leaders seeking innovative ways to improve the performance and efficiency of their legal functions.
We have offices throughout Asia, the Middle East, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
TEAM STRUCTURE
The Hong Kong team forms part of the Asia & Middle East business under Brett Menadue, Managing Director, Asia & Middle East. Currently the HK office also houses our Asia e-discovery business and project teams.
In the current LOD HK team, we have:
• Client Solutions Director: Responsible for business development, client acquisition, strategic relationship management and revenue growth across Hong Kong and the broader region.
• People & Development Team: Responsible for attracting, engaging and managing our legal consultants and flexible talent community.

The role is particularly attractive to lawyers, in-house counsel, legal operations professionals and legal consultants seeking a more strategic and commercially focused career path.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
• Regional Client Solutions and New Business teams providing lead generation, market intelligence and cross-border opportunities.
