Frequently Asked Questions
How is fractional GC different from just hiring a law firm?
Traditional law firms work on specific matters—you call when something comes up. A fractional GC is an ongoing relationship where we are proactively involved in your business. We learn your operations, anticipate issues before they arise, and provide strategic input on business decisions—not just legal problems.
How much does fractional general counsel cost?
Engagements typically range from $3,000 to $15,000 per month depending on scope and time commitment. Compare that to a full-time GC salary of $200,000-$350,000+ plus benefits. We will discuss your needs and propose an arrangement that makes sense.
What if I need specialized legal help outside your expertise?
Part of our role is coordinating specialists when needed—IP litigation, tax planning, immigration, etc. We maintain relationships with trusted specialists and manage those engagements on your behalf, ensuring quality work and cost control.
How quickly can you respond when something urgent comes up?
For retainer clients, we commit to same-day response for urgent matters during business hours. Part of our job is to help you build systems that reduce genuine emergencies.
Can we start with a smaller engagement to see if it is a good fit?
Absolutely. Many clients start with a legal audit or specific project before committing to an ongoing retainer. This lets both sides evaluate the working relationship.
