Fractional General Counsel

Your legal team. Without the overhead.

Most startups can't afford a full-time GC. All startups need one. We embed as your fractional legal team — available when things move fast, aligned with your mission, at a fraction of the cost.

The judgment of experienced tech lawyers. At a fraction of in-house cost.

A full-time General Counsel costs $250k+ per year. Most startups at seed or Series A can't justify that — but they still have complex legal needs. Fundraising. Compliance. Contracts. Employment. Regulatory questions. IP.

The alternative — calling a law firm ad-hoc — means expensive hourly rates and lawyers who have to re-brief every engagement. You pay for education, not judgment.

Fractional GC solves this. We become your legal team — embedded in your business, understanding your cap table, your regulatory history, your product. Available on Slack. In the room for the big decisions. Giving you the same quality of advice a $250k in-house hire would give you, at a fraction of the cost.

How we work together

Monthly Retainer

A fixed monthly fee for a defined scope of legal services. Best for businesses with predictable legal needs who want cost certainty and an embedded legal team they can rely on.

Hours Bank

Pre-purchased hours at a fixed rate, drawn down as needed. Best for businesses with variable legal needs who want flexibility and value knowing the rate is locked in advance.

Project-Based

Fixed-fee engagements for specific projects — a fundraise, a compliance review, a contract suite build-out. Best when the scope is clear and cost certainty matters.
