Why Provo companies hire fractional General Counsels

The typical trigger in this market is outgrowing founder-run functions during a fast bootstrapped growth curve. A fractional General Counsel gives you the same executive seat and legal judgment on 1–3 days per week, without the base salary, equity, and benefits load of a permanent hire.

  • Legal bills are climbing but no one owns strategy
  • You are closing enterprise contracts weekly and need a real playbook
  • A financing, M&A event, or secondary is coming
  • You need employment, equity, and IP hygiene before diligence
