Why we invested
Alternative legal service providers offer corporates more flexible and cost-effective ways of managing their legal needs than traditional law firms. The sector is growing rapidly, and its penetration of the $635 billion global legal services industry is forecast to grow from around 1% to 10% by 2025. As the pioneer in the market, The LOD Group is uniquely positioned to capitalise on this growth, due to its unrivalled reputation for innovation, quality and client service, and its access to world-class legal talent.

The result
During our period of investment, The LOD Group approximately doubled its revenues, significantly expanded its technology consultancy capabilities and broadened its international footprint, including into North America, the world’s largest legal services market.
The business also completed two strategic acquisitions, lexvoco and SYKE, which helped develop The LOD Group into one of the world’s leading alternative legal services providers, with a unique proposition combining legal talent and technology.
In 2023, The LOD Group was acquired by Consilio.
