Simon Harper

After starting his career at CMS, Simon spent 15 years in traditional law firm practice, ultimately leading the media and tech team as a senior equity partner at BLCP.

During that time, Simon started the LOD business in 2007 to provide a different and better way for lawyers to work. Over a decade later, LOD Legal is another step in LOD’s growth as one of the world’s leading alternative legal service providers.

The Financial Times named Simon ‘Legal Innovator of the Year’ for a decade of “sending shockwaves through the legal industry”.

American Lawyer Magazine named Simon a top 50 innovator of the last 50 years – one of only three UK lawyers to be recognised as such.
