Home / FAQ

What is the role of an Interim or Fractional General Counsel (GC)?

An Interim or Fractional GC provides high-level legal counsel to businesses on a temporary or part-time basis, ensuring you have access to top-tier expertise without the cost of a full-time in-house attorney. I help manage legal risks, oversee your legal strategy, and advise on critical decisions, allowing your business to stay compliant and make informed choices.

How can you assist with law department management?

I specialize in streamlining and optimizing the operations of in-house legal departments. Whether you need help structuring your legal team, improving workflows, or handling external counsel, I offer tailored strategies that ensure your department runs efficiently and cost-effectively, aligned with your business goals.

What types of businesses can benefit from your services?

I work with a range of businesses, from established enterprises to mid-market companies. My services are designed to be scalable, so I can adapt to your specific needs, providing expert legal counsel without the overhead of a large law firm.

What makes your services different from working with a large law firm?

I offer personalized, hands-on attention that larger firms often cannot provide at a fraction of the cost. While law firms typically specialize in specific legal areas, I help you assess all your legal risks and needs, guiding you in the right direction and hiring specialists when necessary. By working directly with clients, I enable quicker decision-making and more efficient solutions.

How do you help with HR, Insurance, Risk and Merger & Acquisition projects?

I seamlessly integrate into your business and provide strategic legal guidance that aligns with your overall business objectives, ensuring protection and efficiency in each area. With 25 years of experience, I ensure efficient handling of complex matters while delivering cost-effective solutions.

What are the advantages of outsourcing legal services to you?

Outsourcing legal services to me gives you access to seasoned, high-level counsel without the costs or commitment of hiring a full-time general counsel. You get the flexibility to scale legal support as needed, and I work closely with you to understand your business objectives and offer strategic, cost-effective solutions.
