Fractional Legal Counsel

Who this is for

This service is for you if:

You're a startup or scale-up that needs experienced legal support but can't justify (or afford) a full-time in-house hire yet.
You're a founder who's tired of being the bottleneck on every contract, shareholder decision, and legal question, and you need someone who can own the legal layer so you don't have to.
You're a growing business that's outgrown "ask a lawyer friend" but isn't ready for a full legal department.
You need someone who doesn't just give advice, but actually gets the documentation done, the processes organised, and the follow-up handled.

What changes

You'll have a trusted legal point of contact who understands your business and can handle day-to-day corporate matters, governance, contracts and coordination, without needing to be onboarded every time something comes up.

You'll stop wondering if you're handling shareholder decisions correctly, whether that contract template is actually enforceable, or if you're about to miss a filing deadline.

Legal work will get done, not just advised on.
