Fractional General Counsel
Senior counsel on call for your business, without the cost of a full-time hire.
The situation
You're past the point where legal questions can wait, but you don't have the volume to justify a full-time GC. So contracts pile up, decisions stall, and you end up calling expensive outside firms one matter at a time. Fractional counsel works like an in-house lead who already knows your business, without the full-time hire.
What this covers
- A steady point of contact who learns your business and takes the first call
- Embedded in your team through the tools you already use, from Slack to Teams to email
- Legal priorities and repeatable processes set as you scale
- Standard terms and fallback positions your team can reuse
- A faster, tighter contract workflow
- Ongoing governance and regulatory support
- Compliance habits light enough to keep up
- Coordination of outside specialists when a matter calls for it
- Predictable monthly engagement instead of surprise invoices
Who it's for
Teams that are scaling, selling into larger customers, or carrying more legal complexity than the founder or leadership should shoulder alone. Usually $2M to $100M in revenue.
You get in-house judgment on call, and you stay focused on the business.
Common questions
Fractional General Counsel, answered.
- What does fractional General Counsel actually mean?
- Senior counsel on call for your business on a predictable monthly engagement. You get in-house judgment without hiring a full-time GC.
- What does a fractional GC handle day to day?
- Whatever keeps coming up: reviewing and negotiating contracts, building standard terms your team can reuse, hiring and equity questions, product and privacy calls, and a quick read on risk when leadership needs to decide. We also bring in and manage outside specialists when a matter needs one.
- How is it priced?
- A flat monthly retainer sized to your needs. The same number every month, so legal becomes a line you can plan around instead of a string of surprise invoices.
- What if we need expertise you don't cover?
- We bring in and manage outside counsel when a matter calls for it, so you don't have to coordinate it yourself.
