Who are LOD & SYKE?
LOD & SYKE are companies within the LOD Group who share a set of values and ambitions across the two brands. Although they are distinct entities, they work closely together to help their customers with all their legal operations, tech and people needs.
LOD was set up 15 years ago to make the lives of lawyers better and that is still at the centre of everything we do today. We match lawyers and other legal professionals with companies who need legal expertise in-house, giving them an alternative way of working other than in big law firms. They get more flexibility, more interesting opportunities, and more fulfilling work, with none of the drudgery of the magic circle firms. The companies get access to cream of the crop lawyers in a way that suits them; they can choose from individual lawyers, teams who can be parachuted in, or legal specialists who fix broken processes, or any combination of the above.
SYKE was founded in 2016 to help corporate legal teams choose, buy and implement legal tech. We support our customers, who are predominantly legal teams within enterprise corporate businesses, to modernise their operations through process improvements and bespoke tech solutions. We work with the leading providers of legal tech around the world and are tech agnostic, meaning we’ll always recommend the most suitable solution for our clients’ specific needs. Most of our team of over 160 legal engineers around the world are either former lawyers or have a legal background, meaning they have a fundamental understanding of our customers’ needs.
Additional Information
Working at LOD & SYKE
We don’t have a central office; our teams work remotely or on client sites but you’ll always have the support and supervision of the leadership team and we work hard to share ideas and innovation internally so that our colleagues remain the best in the business.
As you’d expect, across both SYKE and LOD, flexibility is baked into everything we do so everyone is treated like a grown up. We are flexible about working hours, locations and time-zones and we try to keep internal processes and paperwork to a minimum. We want everyone to spend their time doing stuff, rather than talking about doing stuff.
