Virtual Attorney Services

With the widespread availability of video conferencing, document-sharing technologies, and cloud-based legal software, today's companies can connect with lawyers just about anywhere in the world.

Let's discuss your legal department challenges and work together to find the right talent solutions.

With economic uncertainty driving hiring freezes across multiple industries, in-house departments are increasingly being called upon to do more with less.

Axiom has spent more than 20 years fulfilling the complex resourcing needs unique to in-house departments, and we take pride in our ability to craft bespoke, flexible legal solutions for each and every one of our clients. Unlike a legal temp agency more focused on volume than quality or an outside law firm that comes with a hefty hourly fee, our virtual attorney services can help in-house departments better manage this challenging dynamic in a way that effectively mitigates risk while delivering meaningful cost savings.

As the proprietor of a global legal network that includes over 14,000 skilled and experienced lawyers in multiple markets around the world, Axiom offers in-house departments access to virtual attorney services in nearly every major industry and across more than a dozen practice areas:

• Capital Markets and Securities Law
• Commercial and Contract Attorneys
• Corporate Lawyers
• Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Lawyers
• Financial Lawyers
• Insurance
• Intellectual Property Lawyers
• Labor & Employment Law
• Legal Support
• Litigation
• M&A Lawyers
• Real Estate
• Regulatory and Compliance

Find the right virtual attorney for your in-house legal team or law firm.

Whether you're filling a temporary gap on your team, augmenting existing legal staff during periodic work surges or looking for assistance with a complex legal project, initiative, or case, Axiom is ready to connect your in-house department with high-quality, on-demand virtual attorney services whenever they're needed.

Why do so many of the world's top companies, from mid-market innovators to half of the Fortune 100, turn to Axiom for virtual attorney services?

Because they know our network represents the deepest bench of on-demand legal talent in the world. The lawyers providing our virtual attorney services average 15 years of experience, and many are graduates of a U.S. News & World Report top 50 law school. Almost all boast considerable experience in either in-house or private practice settings, including seasoned veterans of the Fortune 500 and Am Law 200.

We've been able to assemble this formidable bench of legal talent because our standards are every bit as high as those of our clients.

While many legal temp agencies are willing to hire just about anyone with a J.D., we know the in-house departments that rely on Axiom for virtual law firm services demand far more. Every lawyer applying with Axiom must undergo an intensive two-step interview process, no matter how impressive their CV. We conduct a thorough and meaningful background screening that goes well beyond verifying past employment and requires every candidate to provide a minimum of three references from past employers.

When selecting Axiom lawyers, we also focus much of our time and energy on uncovering the intangibles: proactivity, adaptability, judgment, a freshness of approach, and the ability to work well within our clients’ commercial environments—attributes few temporary staffing firms ever even consider.

1. Cost Savings: Virtual attorney services can be more cost-effective for businesses compared to hiring full-time, in-house legal staff. By utilizing virtual attorneys on an as-needed basis, businesses can save on the costs of salaries, benefits, office space, and other expenses associated with maintaining an in-house legal team.
2. Access to Specialized Expertise: Virtual attorney services often have a diverse network of legal professionals with expertise in various areas. Businesses can tap into this pool of specialized attorneys to address specific legal needs, such as intellectual property, contract law, employment law, or regulatory compliance. This access to specialized expertise ensures that businesses receive high-quality legal advice and representation tailored to their specific industry or legal concerns.
3. Flexibility and Scalability: Virtual attorney services provide businesses with flexibility and scalability in managing their legal needs. As businesses go through different stages or encounter new challenges, they can easily adjust the level of legal support required. Whether it's a one-time legal project or ongoing legal assistance, businesses can scale their virtual attorney services up or down as needed, without the constraints of hiring and managing in-house staff.
4. Streamlined Communication and Document Management: Virtual attorney services leverage technology to facilitate efficient communication and document management. They utilize secure online platforms and document-sharing systems, making it easy to collaborate, share information, and access legal documents in a timely manner. This streamlined communication and document management enhance productivity and ensure that important legal matters are handled effectively.
5. Reduced Risk and Compliance Support: Virtual attorney services can help businesses mitigate legal risks and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. They stay up-to-date with the latest legal developments and can provide guidance on compliance requirements specific to the industry in which the business operates. This proactive approach helps businesses avoid legal pitfalls and maintain compliance, reducing the potential for costly legal disputes or penalties.
6. Confidentiality and Data Security: Reputable virtual attorney services prioritize confidentiality and data security. They employ robust encryption protocols and secure online platforms to protect sensitive business information and legal matters. This commitment to data security is particularly important when dealing with confidential business strategies, trade secrets, or intellectual property.
7. Access to a Nationwide or Global Network: Virtual attorney services are not bound by geographical limitations. This allows businesses to access legal expertise from attorneys located anywhere, which can be beneficial for companies with operations or legal needs in multiple jurisdictions. It provides businesses with a broader perspective and access to attorneys familiar with local laws and regulations.
