Fractional counsel, also known as part-time or flexible legal counsel, refers to a unique arrangement where a lawyer offers legal services to clients through a contractual agreement, working on a part-time basis. Unlike traditional employment, fractional counsel lawyers do not become direct company employees but instead become integrated executive team members, closely collaborating and advising as if they were part of the organization.
The role of fractional counsel can vary depending on the client’s needs. They can be hired for specific projects requiring legal knowledge or for ongoing legal advice and representation on a regular basis. This arrangement offers companies the flexibility to engage the services of experienced lawyers without the need for a full-time commitment or the complexities associated with traditional employment.
By adopting the fractional counsel model, companies gain access to legal professionals with specialized knowledge and skills, tailoring their involvement according to the company's specific requirements. This arrangement allows company executives to tap into the experience of one or more fractional lawyers as needed, without the need for a long-term employment commitment or the associated costs of hiring a full-time employee.
For lawyers, the fractional counsel model offers the advantage of flexibility. They can choose to work with one or multiple companies simultaneously, providing their services on a part-time basis. This arrangement allows lawyers to diversify their experience, work on diverse projects, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
In summary, fractional counsel provides a flexible and adaptable legal solution, enabling companies to access specialized legal experience without the need for full-time employment. It empowers lawyers to work on their own terms, serving multiple clients while offering companies the ability to engage legal professionals based on their specific needs and without the long-term commitments of traditional employment.
