Axiom

Large corporations employ in-house legal teams of 50 to 200 lawyers, but demand fluctuates. A major acquisition creates months of intensive work followed by quiet. Hiring permanent lawyers for peak means overpaying during troughs. Hiring outside firms means paying 800 to 1,500 per hour. Axiom built a business in the gap. Axiom provides experienced corporate lawyers on a project basis at rates below traditional firms. Companies hire for specific engagements, a contract review, a compliance project, a litigation support role. The lawyers are Axiom employees, not freelancers, from top firms and in-house teams who prefer flexibility over partnership tracks.
