General Counsel in Newent
Burns & Co. provides fractional general counsel to companies in Newent and across Gloucestershire: senior, in-house style legal support on a flexible basis, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
Book a ConsultationNewent is a small market town in the north-west of Gloucestershire, between the Malverns and the Forest of Dean, with a medieval church and a historic centre. Its property is largely period and village-scale, surrounded by orchards and farmland.
The companies we support in Newent 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 Newent 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.
