Is Fractional General Counsel Right for My Company?

Companies generating between $1M and $50M in annual revenue represent the ideal FGC client. At this scale, you face genuine legal complexity but cannot justify a $250,000+ in-house hire.

Key indicators: reviewing contracts yourself, delaying decisions due to legal uncertainty, using multiple uncoordinated firms, experiencing preventable disputes, and lacking compliance monitoring. Any three of these signals suggest FGC would deliver significant value.

Early-stage startups may benefit more from project-based Outside GC for foundational work like entity formation and initial templates. Once complexity increases, transitioning to FGC becomes appropriate.

Companies generating $50M+ may need a full-time in-house team. However, even large companies supplement in-house counsel with FGC for specialized real estate or M&A expertise.

Our core verticals are construction, agriculture, professional services, and general business, all combining contract complexity with regulatory requirements.

Yes. Many FGC clients begin with a single Outside GC project, experience the value, and convert to the ongoing retainer. The SBA recommends establishing legal relationships proactively.

If you only need a single transaction or project, Outside GC may be more appropriate. FGC is designed for businesses needing comprehensive, ongoing oversight across multiple legal dimensions.
