Services

What kind of services does the Fractional General Counsel offer?

General Legal Consultation - as an attorney embedded with your team, I can provide legal guidance and ongoing legal support for various day-to-day concerns, including contracts, corporate governance and risk management.

Contract Review and Drafting - providing general assistance in the review and negotiation of contracts to ensure they align with your business objectives and protect your interests.  For certain matters, we may decide to keep the review in-house but we can also decide when we need to bring in outside counsel or when to ask specifically tailored questions to your outside team.

Corporate Governance - assist with general corporate governance matters, including board meetings, corporate resolutions, bylaws and compliance with corporate formalities and financing documents.  With my experience in managing corporate governance, I can assist you in determining how to structure board meetings and how to manage your relationship with your board and key shareholders.

Risk Management - by having an attorney embedded with your team, your Fractional General Counsel is in a great position to identify potential legal risks and develop strategies to mitigate liabilities and minimize risk.  As an experienced member of executive teams, I have participated actively in the major discussions a business team needs to have about scope of risk and appropriate risk levels based on the stage of your company.

General Regulatory, Employment and Intellectual Property Assistance - having an attorney embedded with your team who can spot issues relating to employment, intellectual property, data privacy compliance and general regulatory compliance assists you in using your outside team of experts more effectively.  Rather than having to go to outside counsel and ask “Do we have a problem here?”, I can work proactively with your team and use outside experts as surgically and effectively as possible.
