2022 UK Legal Survey Report: A New Life in Law

Lawyers are taking more control over their careers. New research from Axiom helps explain why.

In October 2021, Axiom asked IRN Research to conduct independent research amongst corporate legal professionals in the UK. Using an online survey, 150 corporate lawyers across all levels of seniority were asked about their careers and the course they would likely follow in the future.

Naturally, we wanted to gauge how many would consider joining a flexible legal talent provider like Axiom, but we also wanted to understand what the drivers might be behind career-defining decisions to stick with—or diverge from—traditional routes up the legal ladder.
