Fractional General Counsel: The CEO's Secret Weapon

Every business needs a skilled business lawyer on the team, not just to address lawsuits, but to prevent them. Many companies choose to have lawyers in-house for that, but it’s possible to get that benefit without the expense of a full-time employee.

I work with the CEO of a professional services company. Before we started working together, she used a big law firm. She found the lawyers too reactive and the bills unpredictable. She was frustrated with the high turnover of associates assigned to her company.
