Fractional General Counsel Services for Growing Businesses
Most growing businesses need consistent legal counsel but can't justify the cost of a full-time Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel. Hiring an in-house attorney means six-figure salaries, benefits, office space, and overhead, often totaling $200,000+ annually. Newmen Law's Fractional General Counsel services provide you with sophisticated legal expertise on a flexible, cost-effective basis. Think of us as your legal department, available when you need us, scaled to your budget, without the full-time commitment. You get senior-level counsel, immediate responsiveness, and comprehensive business law coverage at a fraction of the cost.
A Fractional General Counsel (also called Outside General Counsel or Virtual General Counsel) is a senior attorney who serves as your company's legal counsel on a part-time, flexible basis. Instead of hiring a full-time General Counsel, you retain a law firm to provide ongoing legal support scaled to your needs, whether that's 10 hours per month or 40 hours per month.
