Take a look at an NYC office that calls itself the 'future of law,' where sharks hang from ceilings and meetings are held on repurposed bleachers

Axiom's headquarters is located in New York City. The office does away with the secrecy of traditional corporate offices by using glass walls and large windows that open up space for everyone.

The office is also characterized by bright orange furniture. Around the office, you can see bright orange shark memorabilia as a play on the joke of lawyers being cut-throat "sharks."

There are no cubicles, and everyone sits in their own space. Even CEO Elena Donio doesn't have her own room, and instead sits at a desk next to the rest of her team.

Axiom offers its employees impressive flexibility: a large number of Axiom attorneys don't work full-time, but can opt for three-day weeks or take months off. Many employees come to the office for work, but the company offers flexible work schedules and parental leave to allow for greater diversity.

Some of Axiom's furniture comes from recycled materials. The bleachers in the team's main gathering area were taken from a high school. Lawn chairs and other backyard furniture can also be found around the office.

Donio said the biggest challenge she faces at Axiom is the "inertia" within the legal industry. In tech, innovation and trying new things was never questioned; law, instead, tends to be risk averse, she said.

Donio aims to show her clients the better value Axiom's attorneys bring compared to counsels: "The challenge is really helping [clients] see how to utilize flexible talent, and why it represents a push in the right direction toward efficiency, but not a sacrifice in risk."

Instead of having to get bogged down by the "partner track treadmill" or work for one client, Axiom's attorneys can choose the work they want to do, without sacrificing the fact they help on the biggest commercial contracts and the largest tech-companies in the world, Donio said.

"It's all about, in a way, restoring the honor to the profession to the people who have lost it somewhere along the way," Donio said. "We give them that opportunity to reclaim that space, and to feel really great about it."
