Why choose Fraction Legal?
Legal expertise
A Fractional General Counsel is a good generalist, a jack-of-all-trades adapting to ever-changing needs. We bring this legal approach, with technology as a niche of expertise.
Long-term vision
We are proactive and invested in the long-term success of your business, something that may sometimes be more difficult for the limited and one-off mandates of a traditional firm. The biggest risks are often those we take without knowing. We can identify these risks and advise on priorities. Over time, we develop a valuable and essential organizational memory.
Trust
We value respect, integrity and transparency. Our sole purpose is to look out for your company’s best interests. All in a collaborative way, because legal can be accessible and almost fun, we promise!
Your culture
We have both the flexibility of law firms and the field experience of real-world business challenges. We can integrate directly your platforms (Slack, Notion, CRM, internal emails, etc.). We take the time to understand your unique corporate DNA. We offer personalized, practical advice that are often more actionable than a 30-page theoretical memo. We are simply accessible to all teams.
Time and $
External legal fees are a fraction of the real costs saved: the time spent by executives and teams on legal tasks or managing external legal resources may be a distraction with no real added value. It takes away your precious and limited time to build your business. We give you back this time, and your legal involvement will always be to add value.
Traditional Vs Fractional approach
A different approach.
The traditional approach works very well for some businesses or contexts.
The fractional approach offers:
-
Great integration and autonomy in your teams.
-
In-depth and ongoing knowledge of your internal issues.
-
Highly actionable advices.
The email exchange below illustrates (of course somewhat caricaturally) the approach.
TL;DR

Hey, there’s a website trying to impersonate us. We should try to fix that.
