Your company has outgrown ad hoc legal advice but doesn't need a $400,000 full-time hire. A fractional general counsel gives you strategic legal leadership embedded in your business, calibrated to your stage, at a fraction of the cost.
200K–$500K per year in hourly billing. Reactive work. No strategic oversight. Every new matter starts from zero because outside counsel doesn't know your business.
The role commands $250K–$400K in salary alone. For most mid-market companies, there isn't enough legal volume to keep a full-time GC fully utilized. You're paying for a seat that's empty half the time.
Your CFO or COO is making legal decisions they aren't equipped for. Contracts get signed without strategic review. Compliance gaps go unnoticed until they become expensive. You're accumulating risk and expense you can't see.
