How to Apply for Litigation Attorney - Consumer Packaged Goods

at Axiomtalentplatform

🏢 About Axiomtalentplatform

Axiomtalentplatform operates as a flexible legal talent platform connecting experienced attorneys with corporate legal departments, offering remote work arrangements that provide autonomy while handling substantive legal matters. Unlike traditional law firms, Axiom emphasizes work-life balance and project-based engagements, making it attractive for attorneys seeking high-level work without the typical firm partnership track pressures.

About This Role

This Litigation Attorney role focuses exclusively on consumer packaged goods (CPG) litigation, requiring deep expertise in product liability, consumer protection laws, and contract disputes specific to consumer products. You'll manage end-to-end litigation for CPG clients while collaborating with both internal stakeholders and outside counsel to minimize legal risks in a fast-moving industry where regulatory scrutiny is high.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing new consumer complaints related to packaged goods, drafting litigation strategy memos for internal stakeholders, coordinating with outside counsel on discovery responses, and researching emerging consumer protection regulations affecting CPG clients. You'll participate in virtual meetings with both Axiom's legal teams and client business units to align litigation approaches with commercial objectives.
