How It Works

From first conversation to a fully functioning legal function — a clear, simple process with no surprises.

The Process

Simple to start.
Serious in effect.

Engaging a fractional general counsel is far simpler than recruiting one. There is no job description to write, no interview process, no notice period to wait out. The process is designed to get you senior legal leadership quickly — and to make sure it is shaped around your actual needs.

1. An initial conversation

It starts with a no-obligation appointment. We listen — to your business, your pressures, your risks and your ambitions — and begin to understand where senior legal leadership would make the biggest difference.

2. A tailored proposal

We scope a package around your business: the level of cover, the priority areas, and a fixed annual fee. No surprises, no hidden hours — a clear proposal you can plan around.

3. Getting under the skin

Once engaged, we immerse ourselves in your business. We review contracts, map risks, meet your team and establish the frameworks that give you control. Your dedicated counsel becomes your first call on anything legal.

4. Ongoing senior leadership

From then on, we operate as your general counsel — sitting at the top table, managing risk, coordinating specialists and making sure the big decisions are made with legal eyes on them. Scaling up or down as the business demands.
