Axiom Drives Over $100 Million in Cost Avoidance for In-House Legal Clients in 2024

• The addition of 748 new clients overall to the company's roster, including 11 new Fortune 100 companies, 55 new Fortune 1,000 companies, 285 new SMB clients, and 181 new global clients. Now 75% of the Fortune 100 and more than 3,500 corporate in-house legal teams overall have placed their trust in Axiom for flexible legal talent and services.
  
  
• More than 640 clients that have retained Axiom continuously for the past 5 years or more.
  
  
• Sustaining an industry-leading NPS (Net Promoter Score) for client satisfaction in legal services throughout the year with high-quality legal talent that's equal to or better than law firm talent.²
  
  
• Expanding the company's expansive lineup of flexible talent solutions and services to provide a "one stop shop" to corporate legal teams for Secondments, Specialized Advice, Recruitment Solutions, Large Projects, AI Lawyers, Talent On Demand, Fractional GC Services, and Litigation Services.

"Last year was an all-time record for Axiom in terms of revenue, new engagement wins, and new client acquisition, which reflects the expanding role we're playing for our clients as they face ever-increasing pressure to improve efficiency, expand capacity, and do more for less," said David McVeigh, CEO of Axiom. "Axiom was founded 25 years ago on the principle of delivering more value in legal services to in-house teams. We set the standard for value then and have raised the bar for value in legal services ever since, in partnership with our top-rated lawyers and legal professionals and amazing clients around the world."

Axiom created the alternative legal service provider (ALSP) category in 2000 with a bold vision: To give leaders of corporate in-house legal teams a high-quality alternative to overpriced law firms and to give lawyers a compelling career alternative that allows them to work with leading companies on a flexible basis. That idea caught on fast and has become a $20 billion industry worldwide³. Axiom continues to lead the way, expanding its suite of legal solutions and services in 2024 to give in-house teams the one-stop shop they want for legal talent, whether that's through Axiom's high-touch client service model, Axiom's digital talent marketplace, or law firm services provided by Axiom Advice & Council.

"The thing we're proudest of—and always derive most satisfaction from—is helping our clients to succeed," said David Pierce, Chief Commercial Officer at Axiom. "That means amplifying their ability to bridge gaps and handle spikes in work; helping them navigate and manage complex, large projects; delivering a better and more cost-effective way to handle basic litigation; giving them access to fractional general counsel; and acting as a high-quality, smartly priced alternative to Big Four consultancies and AmLaw firms. Our goal is equipping our clients to achieve their goals, in whatever shape that takes."
