What sets us apart?
People join us for a range of reasons - the life of an LOD lawyer is like no other.
- We’re an Employer of Choice: for the fifth year in a row, we’ve been recognised as an Employer of Choice by Australasian Lawyer. We’re even prouder that we’ve received an employee NPS score across Australia of 81 which is recognised as “ground-breaking”.
- CV-enhancing work with global brands: We provide our people with varied, challenging, career-enhancing work with world-class global brands, allowing them to take control of their career and diversify their experience across a range of industries.
- No limits: We’ve helped open doors, break glass ceilings, facilitate the transition from private practice to in-house, and develop career pathways to become a GC. Whatever direction you want to take your career, we can help you get there.
- You call the shots: We take work-life balance pretty seriously. You can work on-site with our clients or remotely, undertake full-time or part-time assignments, or assignments that are for set months of a year – it's your choice!
- You’re never on your own: Throughout your LOD career, you’ll become part of a community. You’ll be supported by your LOD colleagues and our HQ team, have access to mentoring programs and high quality know-how, LOD social events, and receive regular training to assist in your ongoing growth and development.
- Our Ways Of Working help shape who we are and what we do: we deliver, we are creative, we are inclusive, we care & collaborate, and we are trusted.
- We’re global: LOD can provide you with local, interstate and international working opportunities. In late 2023, LOD joined forces with Consilio, the global leader in legal consulting and enterprise legal services. Together, LOD & Consilio have a team of approximately 10,000 lawyers, legal engineers, legal operations consultants, paralegals, and risk & compliance professionals spanning North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East.
Who are we looking for?
