The Embedded Engine

Frontier Model:

A general counsel who already knows your product. We embed directly into your team, attending your standups and running your legal strategy.

Seed to Series C

The point where ad-hoc stops working.

Growth creates legal complexity faster than businesses realise. Enterprise deals, regulatory requirements, investor expectations; they arrive on overlapping timelines and demand a counsel function that already has context, rather than ad-hoc legal support learning the business on each call. Fractional GC delivers embedded counsel with the expertise of an external firm.

PHASE 01 // DISCOVERY

Full Context

Two weeks. We review your contracts, read your product documentation, sit with your team. The deliverable is a legal audit: where you're exposed, what's missing, what to prioritize.

PHASE 02 // EXECUTION

Unblocked Pipeline

Redlines come back in hours, not days. Your sales team gets playbooks, fallback positions, and pre-approved templates. Enterprise deals move through legal review without stalling.

PHASE 03 // SCALING

Clean House

The compliance surface grows with the company, and the playbooks from Phase 02 don't gather dust. They get revised as deal terms shift, markets change, and the product evolves. We build governance and privacy frameworks ahead of the need. When the next round comes, legal is already clean.

SYS.01

Embedded, Not Retained

From your product calls to your planning sessions. A fractional GC sees the business from inside rather than through a urgently prepared brief. That proximity changes what advice looks like and its pace.

SYS.02

Compounding Context

Every conversation, every deal, every incident adds to a working understanding of your business that doesn't reset between engagements. Six months in, the counsel function has institutional memory that a new hire would take a year to build.

SYS.03

Cross-Portfolio Insight

Serving multiple scaling companies means seeing patterns early: shifting deal structures, emerging regulatory pressure, what investors are flagging in diligence this quarter. This builds foresight in your favour.

SYS.04

Ahead of the Question

A counsel function with access to your roadmap doesn't wait for the legal question to arrive. The compliance framework is in place before the enterprise client asks for it. The IP assignment is drafted before the contractor starts.

The People

Strategy is only as good as the person running it. Meet the lawyers who would be embedded in your team.
