More Global Brands Turn to Axiom to Tackle Large Legal Projects Cost-Effectively
Axiom reports strong demand for its Large Projects offering, with the Company’s high-quality legal talent helping in-house legal teams address complex legal matters—at savings up to 50% over AmLaw firms
NEW YORK—September 24, 2024—Axiom’s Large Projects service, enhanced in April to offer partner supervision through Axiom’s Arizona-based law firm, Axiom Advice & Counsel, has since won dozens of new or expanded engagements with global brands in the technology, life sciences, consumer products, industrials, and financial services sectors, and beyond.
The Company is closing in on having completed more than 300 large legal projects, deploying over 700 lawyers and legal professionals to serve over 100 clients—including many of the most well-known and respected B2C and B2B brands in America, the UK, the EU, and APAC—while helping them make the most of their budgets, with savings up to 50% over traditional law firm rates, depending on the project.
“Our clients are getting their large legal projects done at substantial savings compared to engaging AmLaw firms, Big Four consulting organizations, and other ALSPs,” said David McVeigh, Axiom’s CEO. “Axiom is raising the standard for value in legal services. Our clients can harness our law firm services and world-class bench of legal talent, while they benefit from our low-overhead business model and low rates that are never inflated by the profit-per-partner model of traditional law firms. Axiom liberates in-house legal teams from spending exorbitantly on the legal services typically associated with large projects … so they can put those dollars to work elsewhere.”
Axiom can quickly assemble and scale teams ranging from several lawyers and legal professionals to dozens or even 100 or more to take on large legal projects. Axiom’s Large Projects teams have assisted global brands across a wide range of matters and practice areas, while delivering material cost savings.

“We're seeing incredible interest from companies looking for agile legal support to take on large projects, especially around AI, cybersecurity, M&A, regulatory compliance, and labor issues, which tend to arise quickly," said Catherine Kemnitz, Chief Strategy & Development Officer at Axiom and Managing Director of AA&C. “Axiom's ability to quickly assemble teams of any size with the high-caliber legal talent needed for the project, support clients with project onboarding and reporting, and do it all for less is a strategic budgeting and performance advantage for today's in-house legal team, regardless of the economic environment.”
