Fractional General Counsel provides you with a dedicated legal expert embedded in your business as your in-house counsel on a part-time or interim basis.
The service allows you to scale your legal resource – for ongoing strategic legal leadership or support with one-off projects – in an agile, cost effective way whilst also accessing the breadth of legal expertise that a Top 100, full-service law firm can offer.
Fractional General Counsel is an ideal solution for:
- fast-growth companies who need responsive legal support but want cost certainty and the ability to quickly scale support up or down, without the long term investment or costs of a dedicated in-house legal team
- small to medium sized enterprises who need legal leadership without the in-house team
- larger businesses who already have in-house capability, but need an on-demand extension to their team due to capacity constraints or significant projects
Regardless of your reasons, we’re your dedicated legal partners – working alongside you to cut through complexity and deliver strategic, commercial advice tailored to your goals. Our focus is on helping your business stay on course and ahead of the competition.
What is Fractional General Counsel?
Our Fractional General Counsel service is scalable and responsive, solution-driven and proactive.
One of our commercial lawyers will act as your in-house counsel, and will be dedicated to your team for a number of days per week or month that best suits your needs.
They will advise on day-to-day matters, provide strategic legal support for long-term projects, and help to build your internal legal function. This on-demand service is designed to give you the confidence and peace of mind to focus on your business goals with full cost certainty.
In addition to your dedicated commercial lawyer, their time can be substituted out on a flexible basis to allow you to access our deep pool of specialist experts in:
- GDPR and data law
- Intellectual property law
- Competition and regulatory law
This means that for no additional cost, you get access to a whole team’s worth of specialist skills, rather than just the skills of your usual lawyer.

- Access to senior specialist commercial lawyers from a wide variety of legal fields
- Experienced lawyers with substantial expertise in your industry
