At TKA Law Firm, fractional general counsel is a primary focus, not an add-on. Companies moving toward investment, partnerships, or exit hit a point where legal questions arrive faster than one founder or finance lead can field them, well before the work is steady enough for a full-time hire. We provide senior counsel sized to that work, so questions get answered before they harden into terms.

What is Fractional General Counsel?

Fractional general counsel gives your company an experienced attorney on an ongoing basis, sized to the company. It functions as your legal department, scaling with deal flow and contract volume rather than headcount.

Why Our Focus on Business Transactions & Intellectual Property Makes Us Ideal Fractional General Counsel

Our counsel is Big Law trained on Wall Street transactions, focused on business transactions and intellectual property, and applied to the milestones that decide a company’s value: financings, partnerships, diligence, and exit.

  • Business Transactions: Owner agreements, commercial contracts, and deal documents are where leverage is set. We handle them as ongoing counsel, so terms stay clean through financing, partnerships, and diligence.
  • Intellectual Property: For most scaling companies, IP is the asset investors and acquirers scrutinize first. We protect trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and structure licensing so the portfolio holds up in diligence and valuation.

What You Get

  • Senior judgment, not task work: A seasoned attorney handling the matters that move valuation, not administrative overflow.
  • Counsel before the terms are fixed: We flag the issue while it is still a choice, not after it is in a signed document.
  • Coverage that scales with the work: Support rises and falls with deal flow and contract volume, so you carry the right amount of legal capacity at each stage.

The companies that get the most from fractional general counsel bring us in before the questions become problems. We put Wall Street knowledge to work for you.®

Frequently Asked Questions

What is fractional general counsel?
Fractional general counsel gives your company an experienced attorney on an ongoing basis, sized to the company. It functions like an in-house legal department: continuous counsel on contracts, transactions, and IP, without a full-time hire.
Who is the best fit for fractional general counsel?
Companies past the startup phase with steady legal volume: recurring contracts, partnerships, financings, and IP decisions. The question is timing and volume, not headcount – if terms are being negotiated regularly, counsel belongs in the room before signing.
How is this different from traditional law firm services?
Traditional engagements are reactive and matter-by-matter. Fractional general counsel works upstream: reviewing agreements before signature, flagging issues before they become disputes, and carrying knowledge of your business from one matter to the next.
