San Francisco, CA (February 19, 2019) - Knowable, the market leader in enterprise contracts intelligence, and Axiom Managed Solutions (AMS), the leader in next-generation solutions for complex legal work at scale, today jointly announced that they have been spun off from Axiom, a leading global marketplace for on-demand corporate legal talent, as two new independent companies, effective February 12, 2019.
“Across the years, jointly innovating with our clients as a part of Axiom, we’ve developed the view that there are three fundamental categories of legal work,” said Brendan Nelson, Head of Product, Knowable. “Irreducibly complex legal work that only the most experienced and talented lawyers can do; repeatable work that requires experienced lawyers but begs for the scaffolding of purpose built tools and process; and, finally, the kind of work that people should not do at all, because the learning, memory, and processing capacity of machines is simply better at it.”
Continued Nelson, “Under Axiom’s brand umbrella, AMS and Knowable have built market leading businesses and solutions to address the second and third categories, respectively. Today’s announcement recognizes the benefits of focus. Operating as independent companies will enable all three businesses to specialize in addressing their unique market opportunities.”
