Another way to say it - lawesomeGC provides a cost-effective solution for companies (and their boards) that need a bazooka on a slingshot budget. The ROI for a fractional GC can be greater than with a full-time GC. A fractional GC is a member of the exec team. There is no difference between a fractional GC and their full-time counterpart except that the fractional GC is part-time and works for more than one company at a time. So we're clear - a fractional GC is not a law firm nor a solo-practitioner. Fractional GC's provide a company with legal, strategic, and leadership skills. This gets time consuming and not particularly relevant "stuff" off the desk of other executives - including responsibility for compliance & legal. The fractional GC is Your Company Lawyer.
