General Counsel in Merton
Burns & Co. provides fractional general counsel to companies in Merton and across London: senior, in-house style legal support on a flexible basis, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
Book a ConsultationMerton covers a broad stretch of south-west London, from Colliers Wood and Mitcham to Wimbledon and Morden. Its housing is predominantly 1930s suburban, with Victorian streets in the north and substantial leasehold flat development around the town centres.
The companies we support in Merton are usually past the point where legal work can be handled ad hoc, but not yet at the point where a full-time general counsel is justified. That gap is exactly what fractional cover is designed to fill.
Growing companies in Merton usually reach the point where legal questions arrive faster than they can be outsourced, but not the point where a full-time general counsel makes sense. Fractional cover sits in that gap: a senior lawyer who knows the business, joins the conversations early and keeps decisions commercially grounded.
