What it is

A general counsel hire costs upwards of two hundred thousand dollars a year and most companies need that person about one day a week. The alternative is usually a law firm on hourly rates, which teaches the whole team not to ask questions.

Fractional counsel is a named lawyer who works with you on a fixed monthly retainer: in your Slack, on your calendar, and familiar enough with the business to answer without a briefing every time.

It covers day-to-day contracts, employment questions, commercial negotiation and governance. Litigation and specialist filings are quoted separately, and you always know before the work starts.

What you receive

  • A named lawyer assigned to your business, not a rotating queue
  • A weekly scheduled call plus asynchronous questions answered within one business day
  • Contract review and negotiation for your ordinary commercial volume
  • Employment, governance and commercial advice as it comes up
  • A quarterly legal risk review with a written action list
  • Priority scheduling and discounted rates on any fixed-price LexGo service

  • You expect a recurring monthly legal workload rather than a single project
  • Your matters sit within corporate, commercial, employment or immigration
  • You are not seeking litigation representation as the primary need

Questions people ask before buying

What is included in the monthly fee?

Ordinary in-house work: contracts, employment questions, commercial negotiation and governance. If something falls outside that, you get a fixed quote before any work starts. There are no hourly surprises.

Can I cancel?

Yes, with 30 days notice and no exit fee. Your document set and matter history are exported to you on the way out.

Do I get the same lawyer every month?

Yes. You get a named lawyer with a named backup for holidays. Continuity is the entire point, and rotating you through a pool would defeat it.

Is there a volume cap?

There is a fair-use expectation of roughly one day a week. If your volume consistently exceeds that, your lawyer will tell you early and propose a second tier rather than quietly slowing down.

How quickly can we start?

Within five business days. That covers conflict checks, matter opening and a kickoff session where your lawyer learns the business properly.
