The Axiom Difference
Axiom has spent two decades assembling the world's deepest bench of on-demand legal talent. So why do so many experienced and talented legal professionals turn to us for part-time lawyer jobs?
We're Not a Staffing Agency
Axiom is not a legal recruitment agency focusing on high-volume, low complexity legal work. Because we were founded specifically to fulfill the complex resourcing needs unique to in-house legal departments, we exclusively offer access to consequential part-time law jobs appropriate for your professional abilities and career objectives.
Our Part-Time Attorneys are Full-Fledged Axiom Employees
Whether they accept full or part-time engagements, all of our lawyers are full-fledged Axiom employees. While you'll enjoy a level of flexibility usually only afforded to freelancers, you will receive a competitive annual salary (prorated for time spent on engagements) and be eligible for various employee benefits.
Axiom Invests in Our Employees’ Success
Axiom provides our lawyers with bespoke career guidance and a wide range of meaningful professional development opportunities, including enriching CLE courses. We also offer support for classes, conferences, and events and reimbursement for bar dues and practising fees.
Every Axiom Lawyer Has a Dedicated Talent Team
You'll have access to a dedicated team to talk through specific client instructions on a case-by-case basis. Your team will also ensure you're consistently matched with part-time lawyer jobs that align closely with your skill set, needs, and goals.
Axiom Believes in a Diverse and Inclusive Workplace
At Axiom, our commitment to diversity and inclusion goes beyond the performative. Our employee roster is significantly more diverse than industry standards, and we've been recognized among the "Best Places to Work" for LGBTQ individuals by the Human Rights Campaign. Axiom considers at least 50% diverse candidates for all leadership and outside counsel roles.
