F500 Tech Conglomerate Enlists Axiom Lawyer for Real Estate Workflow

Challenge

A decentralized conglomerate maintains 28 separate subsidiaries, each with their own legal team. With no centralized real estate support, the operating companies are forced to either maintain full-time attorneys or rely on costly outside counsel for every real estate matter.

Approach

Axiom teams up with the client to plant a versatile, “Swiss-army knife” lawyer to support each subsidiary's real-estate pipeline. Headquarters introduces the Axiom lawyer to each operating company’s legal team as their new one stop shop for real estate. She supports matters ranging from new leases to construction agreements to purchase & sale agreements. 16 different operating companies rely on her as if she was their own law firm partner.

Impact 

• Subsidiaries consolidated their fleet of outside real estate firms into a single point of contact
• One lawyer acts as primary real estate authority for 16 unique operating companies, simplifying workflows and providing much needed real estate know-how
• Reduced spend of national conglomerate that allocates over $100 million annually to outside counsel support
