Fractional General Counsel Services
A Fractional General Counsel (FGC) is an experienced lawyer who provides strategic legal advice and support to businesses on a part-time, as-needed basis, rather than being a full-time employee. This model offers flexibility and cost savings compared to hiring a full-time General Counsel, making it ideal for scaling startups, small businesses, and growing companies.

What is a Fractional General Counsel?
An FGC is a highly experienced, senior attorney who provides legal advice and leadership to businesses on a part-time, as-needed basis, rather than being a full-time employee of the business. An FGC is embedded into the business’s operations and acts as a member of the business’s leadership team.
