Senior legal muscle,
fractional commitment.
An experienced commercial lawyer embedded in your business for a set number of days each month. Startups and scale-ups get the judgement of a general counsel — across contracts, governance and data — without the salary, the equity or the overhead of a full-time hire.

- Month to month
Two bad options. Then a third.
The law firm meter
Every email is a chargeable event priced by the six-minute unit, while advice often feels like it was written for another lawyer rather than for your board.
No one senior in-house
Contracts get signed on the counterparty's paper, governance slips, and data obligations sit with whoever has the time. Risk compounds quietly until diligence finds it.
Fractional
A senior commercial lawyer inside your business for a fixed number of days each month. Same seniority, predictable cost, no headcount.
Four steps. No onboarding theatre.
Most engagements start within a fortnight and run month to month.
Agree the shape
We scope the days per month, the priorities for the first quarter and who you need us alongside — founders, finance, sales or the board.
Embed in the team
Your Slack, your stand-ups, your CRM. We work as part of the business, not as an external adviser waiting for a brief.
Own the legal function
Contract pipeline, templates, governance calendar, policies and escalations all sit with us and stay current.
Show up where it counts
Board and investor meetings, key negotiations, diligence rooms and regulator correspondence — with the context to be useful in the room.
Eight disciplines, on tap.
Your days each month can be spent anywhere across our practice areas — the mix changes as the business does.
Commercial Contracts
Templates, redlines, negotiations and the day-to-day contract pipeline.
Corporate Governance
Registers, resolutions, board minutes and director duties kept in order.
Data Protection
UK GDPR oversight, DPAs, DSARs, policies and breach response.
Intellectual Property
Ownership, assignments, licensing and portfolio housekeeping.
Human Resources
Contracts, handbooks, settlements and independent investigations.
Exit Readiness
Vendor diligence and clearing issues long before a buyer finds them.
Financial Services
Perimeter questions, authorisations and compliance health checks.
Media & Advertising
Campaign clearance, influencer deals and CAP/BCAP compliance.
