LOD welcomes head of managed solutions

Lawyers On Demands (LOD) has appointed Nigel Rea as the head of its managed solutions operations within the UK.

Nigel joins LOD after three years as a solutions director LexisNexis, before which he headed strategic development at Olswang. Commenting on his new role, Nigel said: ‘The legal marketplace is evolving at speed and LOD are at the vanguard of customer driven innovation. I am delighted to be working with a team who have led their market for the last ten years and have an amazing vision for the next decade. LOD now has offices in seven countries, with over 650 lawyers and consultants across the globe working for clients on ever increasing complex and sophisticated solutions. I am excited to be joining at this time.’

LOD co-founder Simon Harper also said: ‘LOD has been providing more and more clients with managed solutions—teams of lawyers augmented by technology, data and project management. We were looking to make a senior hire to take the lead in this area and, having known Nigel for a number of years, we were really pleased that he wanted to join LOD.

‘Managed solutions are becoming a bigger and bigger part of what we do and what our clients expect. Nigel will be leading this part of the LOD business, making good use of his background in consultancy, legal technology and designing solutions for legal teams.’
