Bowmarks backs buyout of Lawyers On Demand
Bowmark Capital has backed the buyout of UK-headquartered law firm Lawyers On Demand (LOD) from trade vendor Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner.
The GP has acquired a majority stake in the company via the transaction, Unquote understands.
Under its new owners, LOD will pursue international expansion, add new service lines and invest in its technology.

The deal comes two years after LOD merged with AdventBalance, expanding its reach into Asia and Australia.
