Fractional General Counsel Services
Running a business is demanding enough—legal issues shouldn’t be what slows you down. At Romano Law, we offer Fractional General Counsel (FGC) services designed to give companies reliable, high-level legal support without the cost of a full-time hire. Whether you are onboarding new employees, closing deals, protecting IP, hiring talent, or preparing for investment, having a trusted legal partner on-call ensures your business scales and operates in a smart and professional manner—without surprise legal bills.
Our Fractional General Counsel (FGC) Services
With our FGC model, you gain access to an experienced attorney who understands your business, anticipates legal needs, and operates like a member of your senior team. We work proactively to identify potential risks, streamline legal compliance, and provide practical guidance on everything from contracts and employment law to fundraising and governance.
Romano Law’s FGC services are flexible, affordable, and designed to grow with your company. We offer ongoing legal support on a part-time basis—so you get your own legal department without the full-time commitment or overhead costs.
Who Needs a Fractional GC?
Fractional General Counsel is ideal for just about any business. From startups to small-to-mid-sized companies, agencies, or mission-driven businesses that don’t yet need—or can’t yet afford—a full-time in-house lawyer. If you are in need of employment law or corporate guidance, need a trusted advisor to help make strategic decisions, enter partnerships, hire staff, develop intellectual property, or prepare for funding, a fractional GC helps you move forward with confidence and clarity.
Even larger businesses that already have legal counsel can benefit from adding fractional GC services to fill skill gaps, reduce backlog, or support high-growth periods.
Benefits of Using Fractional General Counsel
- Affordability & Cost Control: Say goodbye to unpredictable hourly rates. Our flat-cost structure gives you access to a dedicated attorney who knows your business inside and out—often for the cost of a junior employee.
- Strategic Legal Partnership: Your GC participates in key meetings, advises on compliance, negotiates contracts, and helps keep your legal house in order.
- Speed & Accessibility: Get timely legal advice when it matters most—no waiting, no worrying about whether it’s “worth the call.”
- Proactive Risk Management: We help you anticipate legal pitfalls and avoid costly errors before they become major problems.
- Scalable Support: As your company grows, we adapt your legal coverage to match your evolving needs.

How Long Do Businesses Work With Fractional GCs?
While some businesses hire us for a set period to get their business compliant with the law, clean-up operations or prepare for a funding round, most of our clients stay on board for the long haul. The first 90-120 days are designed to resolve any urgent issues and build your legal foundation. From there, we continue to serve as your go-to legal partner as your business grows, pivots, or scales.
Whether you need help with corporate matters, employment law compliance, preparing for venture capital, closing key hires, or developing your next product launch, our FGCs stay with you every step of the way—aligned with your vision and invested in your success.
How Does a Fractional General Counsel Differ from a Traditional In-House Lawyer?
A traditional in-house lawyer is typically a full-time salaried employee, often cost-prohibitive for smaller businesses. A fractional GC, on the other hand, offers all the value of in-house counsel—without the commitment or cost.
Our model is intentionally lean and efficient. Your fractional GC is a senior attorney supported by experienced paralegals and cutting-edge tools, providing a streamlined and scalable solution tailored to your business. You won’t just get legal answers—you’ll get a strategic partner who understands your priorities and helps you move forward with confidence.
