Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) is to launch an on-site pilot of its Lawyers on Demand (LoD) service in Manchester following the low cost centre's opening this summer.

LoD aims to trial its services in Manchester in early autumn following a local recruitment drive for lawyers, which will start with finding commercial and corporate law specialists.

The business plans to replicate LoD's on-site model in London, which offers organisations access to freelance lawyers on secondment-style arrangements, as well as recruit more local lawyers for its remote working service.
