Flexible legal staffing provider Axiom on Wednesday announced the acquisition of Bliss Lawyers, expanding the company’s workforce to approximately 2,400 attorneys on the heels of a recent investment from private equity firm Permira.
The purchase of Bliss Lawyers—founded in 2011 by managing directors Garry Berger, Debbie Epstein Henry and Suzie Scanlon Rabinowitz—will immediately add 60 attorneys to the Axiom network. But Axiom head of global sales David Pierce said that figure is out of a much larger universe of Bliss attorneys who have yet to pass through the Axiom vetting process.
