How a Business Law Firm Can Benefit from Working with Axiom
June 2022

The past few years have been particularly challenging for business law firms.
From a global pandemic that forced the rapid adoption of remote work models to ongoing economic uncertainty, the obstacles to growth are constantly evolving. If your business law firm is going to thrive, you need to make the most of every budgeted dollar without sacrificing client service or placing legal outcomes at risk.
As the world's leading provider of on-demand legal talent, Axiom helps commercial law firms and in-house departments achieve the agility and cost efficiency that today's increasingly competitive and volatile marketplace demands.
How can your business law firm benefit from working with Axiom? Let's take a closer look.
The World's Deepest Bench of On-Demand Legal Talent
Partnering with Axiom grants your business law firm immediate access to the world's deepest bench of on-demand legal talent. Our lawyers work in markets around the globe and in over 30 languages. They include both generalists and lawyers with subject matter experience in over a dozen commercial practice areas including finance, real estate, mergers and acquisitions, and more.
Whether you're looking to fill gaps on your team, seeking assistance with a complex project, or augmenting your staff for a surge in work, Axiom can match you with high-caliber lawyers right for your culture, preferences, and needs.
Axiom Isn't a Legal Staffing Agency
You won't be hard-pressed to find a legal staffing agency; hundreds are out there. While those agencies might be fine for occasional high-volume, low-complexity projects, most lack the ability to field talent capable of handling complex and challenging commercial legal work.
Axiom is NOT a legal staffing agency. We were founded over 20 years ago to meet the complex resourcing needs unique to law firms and in-house legal departments. Unlike most agencies, we're laser-focused on providing on-demand legal support that will allow your business law firm to drive cost savings, maximize speed to impact, and remain agile in the face of changing market conditions.
We're Very Particular About the Lawyers We Hire
Not every attorney has what it takes to be an Axiom lawyer.
To ensure we're always meeting our clients' high standards, we employ a rigorous screening process that ultimately leads us to hire only 10 out of 25 candidates who apply.
This selectivity has allowed Axiom to build a network of over 14,000 elite attorneys who average 15 years of experience. They include graduates of U.S. News & World Reports' Top 50 Law Schools, as well as seasoned veterans of the AmLaw 200 firms and Fortune 500 legal departments.
Of course, Axiom's recruiting efforts aren't solely focused on pedigree. We also strive to identify attorneys with the intangibles – proactivity, adaptability, judgment, and a freshness of approach – crucial to success in a business law firm environment.
Solutions to Fit Your Business Law Firm's Unique Needs
Your business law firm is unique, and so are its challenges and legal matters. Axiom offers several market-leading legal solutions, any of which can be customized to align with your specific needs and goals.
- Axiom Counsel: Elite, veteran attorneys for law-firm-quality support and subject-matter expertise.
- Axiom Secondments: Lawyers with experience in a wide range of practice areas, as well as the insight to seamlessly navigate the legal complexities typically confronted by a business law firm.
- Axiom Structured Teams: Ideal for any matter that requires experienced oversight/ leadership and the assistance of multiple lawyers.
Your business law firm can engage Axiom lawyers for as long as needed on a full-time or part-time basis. Many of our legal professionals are set up to work remotely, either fully offsite or as part of a flexible hybrid arrangement.
Once you're matched with an Axiom lawyer, we'll partner with you throughout the onboarding process to ensure they're meeting your high standards from the very start. We’re not a law firm, and we don't offer legal advice. Your firm will have full control in overseeing your Axiom attorney’s work.
Take Away
While your business law firm will undoubtedly face increasing challenges as it continues to grow, Axiom is uniquely positioned to help you overcome those obstacles and achieve your goals.
