Axiom Career FAQ
Many of our lawyers choose Axiom as part of their legal career journey to help them find a more senior role in the future. Many of our alumni are now GCs in places they might not have otherwise been able to reach, due to the in-house experiences and skills you might not have the chance to gain working at a firm or a smaller business. Others choose to work with Axiom to supplement their solo practice or other career pursuits outside of providing legal services, or just to gain new experiences in different industries as they forge their career path.
From the beginning of the hiring process to your first engagement and subsequent re-engagements, we're with you every step of the way. We offer engagements in more than a dozen practice areas in virtually every industry.
So, what does it take to become a lawyer at Axiom? Interviews are a two-step process. If you move past the first interview, we follow with diligence and background checks, and once through that you join our Waitlist. The Waitlist is where we will start sharing opportunities from which you can choose your first engagement.
Globally, the average engagement lasts approximately 11 months, though most lawyers stay engaged with their clients for many more months, and often years, longer. Lawyers who crave stability will find it a core part of Axiom’s business model. If you’re looking for a change at any time – just let us know and we can find you something new that suits your desired law career path.
Before your engagement concludes, about 4-6 weeks in advance, we will start talking to you about the next opportunity. Between engagements, our benefits continue for a 3-month period, and you continue to have full access to our extensive professional development and networking offers during this time.
Our lawyers spend minimal waiting time between engagements, unless they want to. Our lawyers’ utilization is nearing 90%, which means that our attorneys are working for as many hours (or as few) as they’d like to practice.
We are committed to providing you with a wide range of legal and commercial resources to enable your continued professional development and legal career in a meaningful and valuable way. We offer accredited CLE courses focused on updating or enriching legal skills, and provide resources from Practicing Law Institute, LexisNexis, and IAPP. We also provide support for courses, conferences, and events, as well as bar dues or practicing fee reimbursement. We are strong believers in leveraging our impressive network of Axiom lawyers.
