What if you could earn more than a full-time General Counsel without the internal politics, fixed salary ceiling, or executive treadmill?
We are helping experienced in-house lawyers in London explore the fractional General Counsel business model.
This is for senior lawyers who already advise founders, boards, executives, or leadership teams and are starting to wonder whether their skill set could become a high-value retained advisory practice of their own.

What You’ll Receive 100% of revenue paid directly to you Flexible contract structure Remote-first model Support to build a portfolio of retained clients A proven process to go from 1 retained client to 3+ over time
