Lawyers on Demand

Lawyers on Demand want to progress their legal careers without putting a hold on their other interests, whether family, creative or entrepreneurial. As an LoD, you will be trained and supported by Berwin Leighton Paisner (‘BLP’) and work directly with our clients on terms that suit you.

Feedback from our lawyers has been extremely positive.  They have found that the flexibility of our approach matches their lifestyles in a way which would not be possible in other employment routes, while the training and induction given by BLP ensures that they are fully prepared for the roles they are taking on.  Many of the Lawyers on Demand say that it is the only way in which they could continue to practise law whilst pursuing their other ambitions. Here’s what some of them have said:

"Lawyers on Demand offers a unique opportunity to practise law in-house with the back up of a City firm, and on terms that allow pursuit of other projects."

"Having had extensive experience at a high level in-house allows me to get up to speed more quickly than a secondee or locum and to offer a strong commercial perspective. I appreciate the chance to use my skills and experience in a way which works happily alongside my other projects."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Lawyers on Demand programme.  I was immediately offered an assignment ideally suited to my experience and interests, and which fitted in with my other commitments, and this has provided the opportunity to be involved in innovative and exciting projects, working directly day to day with the client."

“The LoD scheme allows me to have a great work-life balance as well as challenging cases to work on, backed up by tremendous know-how from BLP"

We are continually growing the team of lawyers as client demand for the service continues to grow. Please see our FAQ’s section for more information >
