Who We Help

We understand the needs of scaling businesses. Deals need to be done quickly. Regulations need to be navigated. Product needs guidance. Risks need managed. You need to be strategic. But more headcount is not always the answer.

ScaleUps

CEOs, CFOs and COOs that want to offload contracts, better understand and manage risk, navigate complex issues, and focus on strategic matters. But who are not yet ready for a full-time in-house counsel.

Sole Counsels

First-time Legal hires drowning in the BAU and with no time to build a scalable function. But who don’t have the full-time need, necessary budget, or desire to recruit, train, manage and supervise a full-time legal counsel.

Legal Teams

Small Legal teams that are stretched thin, constantly fire-fighting, struggling to keep pace with the business, and under ever-increasing pressure. But who need to find a way to scale without adding more headcount.

What We Offer

We help you scale your Legal function without hiring. We relieve workload, optimise how you operate, keep things lean, get deals done quickly, manage complex legal issues and free up capacity for strategic work.

Fractional Counsel

For businesses that have at least one lawyer, but demand for legal support outpaces capacity and adding another full-time lawyer is not the best option.
