Fractional Legal Counsel
Commercial legal capability embedded into the business on a flexible basis.
What does a Fractional Legal Counsel do?
Fractional Legal Counsel can give a business regular access to experienced commercial legal capability without employing an in-house lawyer full-time. They can help management identify legal risk earlier, improve contracts and commercial processes, coordinate specialist external lawyers and support day-to-day commercial decision-making.
This model can suit businesses that have ongoing legal complexity but want more continuity than using a different external adviser for every issue. The Fractional Legal Counsel becomes familiar with the business, its contracts, risk profile and commercial priorities.
A Fractional Legal Counsel can help you:
- Review and improve commercial contracts
- Support negotiations and commercial decisions
- Identify and manage legal risk
- Coordinate specialist external legal advice
- Improve contract and governance processes
- Support growth, transactions and business change
Typical outcomes include:
- Earlier identification of legal risk
- More consistent commercial contracts
- Better coordination of external legal spend
- Stronger legal input into management decisions
- Greater continuity than ad-hoc legal advice
