If you’re in the software business, you know robust software agreements are essential to protect your intellectual property. In addition to preventing bad actors from appropriating your products and platforms for their own gain, carefully crafted agreements generally stipulate terms for the revocation of use and include disclaimers and other clauses to mitigate the risk of legal action should a problem arise in the future.

Because the issues surrounding these agreements are often as complex as the software itself, working with an experienced attorney well-versed in software licensing is absolutely crucial. By partnering with Axiom, you gain instant access to a worldwide legal network that includes more than 14,000 lawyers with extensive experience in a wide range of industries and practice areas. Our network includes software lawyers, IP attorneys, and SaaS lawyers.

When developing and marketing software lies at the heart of your business, there’s really no room for error. Because we understand that your standards for a software licensing attorney are necessarily high, our standards are exacting.

Before they can work with Axiom, every software licensing attorney and legal professional we hire undergoes a robust and meaningful screening process that goes beyond merely verifying past legal employment and requires each candidate to provide references from at least three former supervisors.

Because of our exceptionally high standards, we ultimately hire just 1 in 10 who apply. Our lawyers average more than 15 years of legal experience in both in-house and private practice settings, and a significant number have managed in-house projects or internal matters while effectively overseeing and collaborating with outside counsel. Many have graduated from a U.S. News & World Report Top 50 law school.

You can engage an Axiom lawyer for as long as they're needed. Our network includes legal professionals available for both full- and part-time work, including many who accept remote or flexible hybrid assignments. Your team will be responsible for supervising the work of your software licensing attorney. However, we’ll partner with you throughout the onboarding process to ensure they’re meeting your high standards from day one.
