Axiom Ince collapses: Police investigation begins

3 Oct 2023News

On Monday 2nd October Axiom Ince called in the administrators

In a buoayant legal market where numerous firms are reporting bigger than ever profits Axiom Ince calls in the adminstrators to take over the business.

Many hard working solicitors have been badly affected by the actions of just a few high ranking officers of the firm.

Fortunately, as reported by the SJ recently, many of the 400 staff employed by Axiom Ince have been snapped up by competing firms.

With the Police and High Court involved, it is only a matter of time for the extent of the corrupt practices at Axiom to be fully revealed.
