How do you lead a global legal services pioneer through a period of profound market disruption? Daniel Hayter, Managing Director and Vice President for Europe at Axiom Law, shares how he is helping one of the world’s largest providers of flexible legal talent transform the way in-house legal teams operate, resource, and create value.
Since joining Axiom in 2021, Daniel has overseen the firm’s growth across the UK, Germany, and Switzerland. Axiom, credited with inventing the alternative legal services category 25 years ago, now supports over 3,500 legal departments worldwide, with more than 1,500+ legal professionals in Europe alone. Its model blends flexible legal talent, deep multi-industry expertise, and emerging AI capabilities.
In this conversation, Daniel reflects on what it means to lead during a tipping point for the legal profession. He explores the misconceptions law leaders hold about AI, and why organisational readiness matters more than tool selection. His message is clear: today’s turbulence is an opportunity for leaders to think differently and create greater value.
