Powering up TikTok's EMEA Legal Team

Challenge

TikTok required a legal partner to provide a flexible alternative to their resourcing needs. As they became one of the industry's fastest-growing in-house legal teams, they needed an agile solution without having to rely on permanent headcount.

Solution

LOD offered a low-risk and straightforward answer, bolting on extra resource using European lawyers. We have supported TikTok EMEA Legal since 2019, powering the business during a period of exponential growth. In that time, we've provided more than 15 legal professionals ranging from paralegals to senior counsel, supporting on projects across commercial, real estate, procurement, digital advertising, data privacy, litigation, and intellectual property.

Impact

LOD and TikTok have built a long-term partnership. Our interim legal professionals have filled gaps, delivered specialist expertise, and supported on discrete projects - all helping TikTok's EMEA Legal team scale their operations effectively.

"We have been impressed with the quality of the lawyers provided by LOD and now have the level of partnership where LOD knows who is the best fit for us before we do."
