Many businesses don’t need a full-time in-house attorney but still require ongoing legal guidance. As outside fractional counsel, we act as your on-call legal department. We provide proactive advice, handle day-to-day legal matters, and help you stay ahead of legal risks without the overhead of a full-time hire.
From Inception to Exit
We work with clients from the formation of their business through exit, including mergers and acquisitions, VC roll-ups, and other business transitions.
Strategic Legal Guidance
We advise on business structuring, operational issues, contract management, and governance, helping you make informed decisions at every stage of growth.
Contract Review and Negotiation
We review, draft, and negotiate commercial agreements, service contracts, NDAs, licensing deals, and vendor agreements to protect your interests.
Compliance Monitoring
We monitor regulatory and legal developments relevant to your business, ensuring ongoing compliance and reducing risk exposure.
Risk Management and Dispute Prevention
We identify and address potential legal issues early, minimizing the likelihood of disputes and costly litigation.
Integrated Business Support
We collaborate with your team and other advisors to align legal strategy with business objectives, acting as a seamless extension of your organization.
How is fractional counsel different from hiring a lawyer for one-off projects?
Fractional counsel provides ongoing support and proactive legal strategy, not just reactive work when problems arise.
Can I scale the level of support up or down?
Yes. We offer flexible arrangements tailored to your needs and budget.
Will you handle contract negotiations with vendors, partners, or clients?
Yes. We can review, redline, and negotiate agreements on your behalf.
How do I know what level of legal support my business needs?
We’ll assess your current operations and help you create a legal support plan that fits your goals.
Can you work with my internal team and outside advisors?
Yes. We frequently coordinate with executives, accountants, marketing teams, and outside professionals to ensure legal strategy supports the business.
