Why Do So Many Amazing Lawyers Choose Axiom?
Our network of 14,000+ lawyers represents the world's largest and deepest bench of on-demand legal talent. Many of our attorneys graduated from a U.S. News and World Report Top 50 law school, and a significant percentage are accomplished veterans of AmLaw 200 firms and the Fortune 500.
Why do so many exceptional lawyers choose to work with Axiom?
Unlike legal staffing agencies that typically focus on high-volume, low-complexity legal tasks, Axiom was founded over 20 years ago to meet the sophisticated resourcing needs unique to today's in-house legal departments. Our temporary attorney jobs allow legal professionals to work on a variety of consequential matters for top global clients across a range of industries, including leading companies in the services, industrials, technology, financial services, and life sciences sectors.
Many of our lawyers choose Axiom to aid their transition to more senior roles, while a fair number are attracted by the promise of flexibility and improved work-life balance. For many others, the ability to pivot between various types of projects and industries draws them to Axiom.
What Can I Expect from Axiom?
Axiom provides on-demand legal services to clients in multiple markets around the world, including leading law firms, mid-market innovators and half the Fortune 100.
While the average Axiom engagement lasts around 11 months, some of our lawyers continue working with a single client for years. If at any time you’re looking for a change, just let us know, and we can find you something new that better aligns with your needs.
You’ll never be pressured to accept any engagement that doesn’t suit you. Once you partner with Axiom, you’ll be assigned a dedicated Talent Success Partner to help tailor your career path and ensure you’re always matched with temporary attorney jobs appropriate for your professional abilities and goals.
As an Axiom employee, you’ll be paid an annualized salary (prorated for time spent on engagements) and have access to a full menu of benefits, including health insurance, a retirement plan, paid time off, and an Employee Assistance Program. Axiom will also provide a wide range of legal and commercial resources to facilitate your continued professional development and legal career in a meaningful and valuable way.
Weeks before an engagement concludes, we’ll start talking to you about the next opportunity. We do everything possible to minimize downtime between temporary attorney jobs, and our lawyer utilization rate is approaching 90%. However, if you choose to take extended time off between engagements, your Axiom benefits will remain in effect for three months. You’ll also continue to have full access to our extensive professional development and networking opportunities during this time.
