Consistent legal support on a scheduled basis. Ideal for businesses that need reliable, ongoing guidance without the overhead of a permanent executive hire.
Part-Time General Counsel services provide growing companies with dedicated, ongoing legal leadership—without the commitment or expense of a full-time hire. Acting as an extension of your leadership team, a Part-Time General Counsel offers consistent legal oversight, risk management, and strategic guidance tailored to your company’s evolving needs.
Businesses choose Part-Time General Counsel services when they’ve outgrown ad-hoc legal support but don’t yet need—or can’t justify—a full-time in-house attorney. This model ensures continuity and institutional knowledge, allowing the same trusted counsel to advise across contracts, compliance, employment, and corporate matters. It’s a scalable solution that grows with the business.
A Part-Time General Counsel brings the experience and judgment of a seasoned in-house lawyer to your company on a predictable schedule. You gain proactive legal risk management, seamless integration with your internal teams, and consistent support for strategic initiatives like financing, partnerships, and expansion. By maintaining an ongoing relationship, your counsel develops a deep understanding of your operations, enabling faster, more tailored advice that saves time and reduces long-term risk.
Consider a Part-Time General Counsel when your business regularly faces legal questions or contract volume that require ongoing oversight—but not yet a full-time legal department. It’s ideal for companies managing steady growth, preparing for funding rounds, scaling into new markets, or operating in regulated industries where legal input is frequent and essential.
