 Large businesses often have in-house counsel to handle day-to-day legal tasks, ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, and resolve more complex matters. Having in-house counsel would provide the same benefits to small and mid-size businesses, but few can afford the expense. That’s where fractional general counsel comes in. 

While hiring an attorney solely to draft or review a contract makes wise legal sense, it doesn’t make as much sense from an economic perspective. As such, many small and mid-size businesses use boilerplate contracts and enter into all types of agreements without any legal review. 

When it comes to more serious legal matters, small and mid-size businesses are at an even greater disadvantage; they must endure the time-consuming process of hiring an attorney and catching them up to speed every time they are faced with a legal issue. Let us help you determine if having Fractional General Counsel is right for you and your company.
