2. Axiom –
Providing Talent
and Technology
to Help Legal
Departments
Adapt To a
Demanding
New Era
T
he rise of Alternative Legal
Service Providers, better
known as ALSP, has been
significantly high in the past several
years. ALSPs are companies that
provide legal services apart from
the conventional
paradigm of legal
services and systems.
They ultimately use
legal technology in
order to provide more
efficient services in
a faster span of time
and with a drastically
cheaper price.
There are numerous
services offered by
ALSPs. They tend to
be niche companies
that specialize in
one or more legal
tasks. These tasks
usually need a certain
measure of know-
how and are in huge
demand due to their
frequent need. ALSPs
sometimes offer other
outsourced services
under custom
circumstances,
however, they
breakdown the
general traditional
process into different
services depending
exactly on what the
client wants. The
increasing demand
for affordable and
more efficient legal
services has made
room for ALSP
companies to compete
against regular
service providers,
like in house legal
departments or Law
Firms, when it comes
to completing certain
tasks, and with Legal
tech being as big as
ever, ALSPs are using it to their
advantage. The growth of ALSPs
has made a significant change in the
overall client expectation. ALSPs
are here to stay and are on the way
towards a larger presence in the
market and with innovative legal
technologies to support them and to
enhance their services.
Axiom is one such firm that
provides leading alternative legal
services. Axiom is the global leader
in high-caliber, on-demand talent,
with a network of over 5,800 legal
professionals with expertise across
many industries and practice areas.
Whether it’s a single or large-
scale team solution, its support
is designed to meet your needs
and can help you control costs,
maximize speed to impact, and react
to changing market conditions.
Axiom provides active engagement
management. Define project goals
and success criteria with Axiom;
partner with direct client supervisor
prior to the start of the engagement.
Conduct regular check-ins with
client and lawyers to gather and
communicate feedback and ensure
the engagement is achieving its
goals. Establish a governance
structure, including a steering
committee responsible for high-
level strategy and planning, and an
operating committee responsible for
driving decisions and initiatives.
