Could somebody please tell me what does "to be on lead" mean? (As in "the law firm requested to be on lead").

1The lead counsel (in the US) acts as a sort of project manager and head honcho. The lead counsel parcel out assignments to the other law firms acting on behalf of the client, in various local jurisdictions for example. All information flows through the lead firm and they often make the final decision on how a particular issue is to be addressed.– TimRCommented Jul 10, 2016 at 11:08

There is another example in here. "ECON has requested to be on lead or to work on the basis of Rule 55."– burcuCommented Jul 12, 2016 at 9:12

If someone is on lead or taking the lead it often means that they are coordinating a group of people on the same project or towards a similar goal.
For example, I used to have a job at the telephone help desk for my university, and one of the call desk agents would "lead agent" if they were the one coordinating things like breaks, or monitoring the general flow of calls coming into the center.
