Fractional General Counsel
Outsourced legal leadership, with partner involvement
We provide interim or permanent outsourced General Counsel services for companies that need continuous strategic legal advice without an in-house legal department, or as a complement to one.
We operate as the legal department of companies that don't have one — or as reinforcement for one that does — under a flexible model: interim while an in-house lawyer is hired, or permanent as a long-term arrangement.
The day-to-day includes reviewing and negotiating contracts, handling corporate matters, managing risk and taking part in strategic business decisions with legal and commercial judgment, coordinating specialists when a matter requires it.
Unlike a loose hourly arrangement, a fractional general counsel knows the business from the inside: involved in operations with the closeness of an in-house lawyer and the judgment of partners with transactional and regulatory experience.
How we work
Interim or permanent outsourced General Counsel, matched to the company's stage and needs.
Close involvement in operations, legal strategy design and risk management.
Direct involvement of the firm's partners.
Frequently asked questions
What is a fractional general counsel?
An outside lawyer or team that takes on the role of a company's general counsel on a partial or staged basis: involved in operations the way an in-house lawyer would be, without the cost of a full-time legal department.
What kind of company is it right for?
Growing companies and startups that don't yet justify an in-house legal department, Mexican subsidiaries of foreign companies, and organizations whose legal team needs temporary or specialized reinforcement.
How is the service structured?
We define a scope and working cadence based on the company's stage — from continuous involvement in operations to part-time interim arrangements — with the firm's partners directly involved.
What happens when we hire an in-house lawyer?
The model is designed for that transition: we can support the search, hand over the function in an orderly way and stay on as outside counsel for specialized matters.
