Home/Services/Fractional General Counsel

Fractional General Counsel

Senior legal judgment, embedded in your business and available on call, at a fraction of the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.

There is a stage where outside counsel by the hour is too slow and too transactional, but a full-time general counsel is premature and expensive. The fractional model fills it: a senior lawyer who knows your business, owns the legal function, and is reachable when a decision cannot wait, without the salary, equity, and overhead of an in-house hire.

We become part of how your company operates, not a vendor you email and wait on.

What we handle

  • Day-to-day commercial and product legal decisions
  • Ownership of the contract pipeline and review process
  • Policy, governance, privacy, and AI oversight
  • Vendor management and coordination of specialist counsel when needed
  • Board, financing, and fundraising support
  • Building the in-house legal function and handing it off when you are ready

How we work

Embed

We learn your business, your team, and your risk tolerance, and plug into how you already work.

Triage

We handle what needs judgment now and systematize what recurs, so legal stops being a bottleneck.

Build to scale

We leave you with processes and, when the time comes, a function ready for a full-time hire.

Who this is for

Growth-stage companies without in-house counsel, founders spending too much of their own time on legal, and enterprise teams that need specialist depth or overflow capacity on demand.
