Fractional General Counsel/Chief Legal Officer Services

For companies requiring more than occasional advice from outside lawyers, but aren’t quite large enough to require—or afford—a full-time general counsel, the Pivnick Firm’s fractional GC/CLO services offer a practical and strategic solution.

This innovative outsourcing arrangement provides businesses with embedded and real-time guidance from a highly experienced attorney who has seen virtually every challenge and opportunity that comes with running a business.

The role of fractional general counsel can involve a number of specific responsibilities, including:

  • Handling corporate issues including equity issuance and management, board representation, fund raising, joint ventures and acquisitions.
