How to find the Best Lawyers for Hire 

Quality legal talent appears to be in short supply these days.

Despite much talk of a recession, hiring freezes, and even legal industry layoffs in recent months, connecting with the best lawyers for hire remains challenging given the lingering effects of the "Great Resignation" and the work-from-home frenzy of the last several years.

So what can law firms and in-house legal departments do to overcome their staffing challenges?

Let's explore how Axiom can help you gain access to some of the best lawyers for hire.

Any of our market-leading solutions can be customized to fit your specific needs. You can engage one or more lawyers for hire for a single day, a few months, or even a year or more. They can work with you onsite or in coordination with your outside counsel, and many can accommodate remote or hybrid working arrangements.

While it can take weeks or months to find an attorney via the traditional methods, our vast global network usually allows Axiom to match clients with the right lawyers for hire in just a matter of days:

• Step 1: Reach out to Axiom to schedule your consultation.
• Step 2: Receive a curated list of lawyers for hire matching your requirements.
• Step 3: Interview one or more of our suggested matches.
• Step 4: Your Axiom lawyer begins work.

You won't have to worry about reviewing dozens of resumes or screening a raft of candidates— we handle everything. Before they can work with Axiom, all lawyers for hire must undergo a rigorous interview and background check process that requires the submission of references from at least three supervisors. To be frank, not every candidate who applies with Axiom makes it through our screening process. But those who do average around 15 years of experience. Many are graduates of U.S. News & World Report Top 50 Law Schools, and a significant number are veterans of the Fortune 500 and Am Law 200 firms.

Once your engagement is underway, you and your team will have complete control to supervise your Axiom lawyer's work. We provide standardized onboarding and offboarding, regular check-ins and management, and billing via daily or weekly rates.
