Fractional Legal - General Counsel

Manage legal risks and ensure compliance with experienced fractional legal executives. Get the strategic legal guidance you need to protect your business and navigate complex regulations.

What is a Fractional Legal Executive?

A fractional legal executive is a senior legal professional who works with your company on a part-time or project basis. They bring the strategic thinking and legal expertise of a full-time General Counsel without the permanent commitment and full-time cost.

Fractional legal executives are particularly valuable for growing companies that need legal leadership but aren't ready for a full-time executive hire. They can help with compliance, risk management, contract negotiations, and establishing legal frameworks that protect the business.

Typical Engagement

  • 20-60% time commitment
  • 6-24 month engagements
  • €120-400 per hour
  • Immediate availability
