Opportunities to Work on Meaningful Legal Matters
Axiom is not a legal staffing agency focused on high-volume, low-complexity, and ultimately unsatisfying legal tasks. All of our engagements, including our virtual attorney jobs, provide opportunities to work on meaningful legal matters and projects appropriate for your skill set, experience level, and goals. You can choose to work with law firms, corporate legal departments, in-house general counsels, and more.
Our Virtual Attorney Jobs Confer Axiom Employee Status
Whether you're working virtually from home or full-time in an office setting, you'll have Axiom employee status on every engagement. You'll receive a competitive annualized salary (prorated for time spent on engagements) and be eligible for health insurance, retirement benefits, and paid time off. You'll also be able to take advantage of our Employee Assistance Program and a wide range of meaningful professional development resources.
You're the One in Control
Whether you're interested in part-time or full-time virtual attorney jobs or prefer only long-term or short-term assignments, you'll never face pressure to take on an engagement that doesn't seem like a good fit for you. Your Axiom team will walk you through the specifics of each offered engagement, so you'll always know what to expect before you commit.
Axiom is All About Flexibility
While our virtual attorney jobs last an average of 11 months, you need only inform your team if you feel ready for a change, and they'll start looking for your next opportunity. While we do our best to limit your downtime between engagements, you're always free to take as much time off as you like. Your benefits will remain in effect for three months once an assignment ends.
Axiom is Committed to Diversity and Inclusion
While many businesses and organizations pay lip service to diversity and inclusion, at Axiom, we work to drive real change in everything we do:
- Our lawyer population is significantly more diverse than industry standards.
- The Human Rights Campaign has named Axiom one of the "Best Places to Work" for LGBTQ individuals.
- We're Mansfield Certified, reflecting a commitment to consider at least 50% diverse candidates for all leadership and outside counsel roles.
Virtual Attorney Jobs FAQ
A virtual attorney job is a legal position that allows attorneys to work remote jobs from a location of their choice instead of being physically present in a traditional office setting. Virtual attorneys use technology, such as video conferencing, online legal document review systems, and virtual collaboration tools to communicate and perform their legal duties remotely.
Virtual attorney jobs cover various legal practice areas, just like traditional on-location attorney roles. Common virtual attorney positions include virtual corporate attorneys, virtual contract attorneys, virtual litigation attorneys, virtual intellectual property attorneys, virtual real estate attorneys, and more. Similar to a virtual law firm, Axiom employs remote attorneys in over 13 practice areas.
Key skills for virtual and remote attorneys include excellent communication, time management, and organizational skills. Being tech-savvy and comfortable with online collaboration tools is also crucial. Additionally, virtual attorneys must be self-disciplined and capable of managing their workload effectively while in a remote environment.
To become a virtual attorney, you typically need to have the same qualifications as traditional attorneys. This includes completing a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from an accredited law school, passing the bar exam in the relevant jurisdiction, and obtaining any required licenses or certifications for your specific legal practice area.
No, virtual attorney jobs are not restricted to specific locations. Since the work is done remotely, virtual attorneys can serve clients and work with law firms and companies across different states or even countries.
