The Founder’s GC
I work with founders and leadership teams to provide practical, business aligned legal support. This may be through an ongoing Fractional General Counsel subscription or through clearly scoped project based support, depending on what your business needs right now.
My focus is on helping growing organisations gain clarity, confidence and control over legal risk without slowing down commercial momentum.
Does this sound familiar?
You are scaling quickly, but legal questions keep surfacing at exactly the wrong time.
You may recognise one or more of these situations:
Contracts are slowing down sales because every deal feels slightly different and no one is fully confident about what can be accepted.
You rely on external counsel for support, but advice arrives late, feels disconnected from your business and quickly becomes expensive.
Privacy, data protection or AI compliance feels important, but unclear, and keeps getting pushed down the priority list.
A specific legal project is looming, such as due diligence, a contract overhaul or regulatory preparation, but there is no clear internal ownership.
There is no consistent legal view across teams, which leads to uncertainty, repeated discussions and delayed decisions.
Legal risk is addressed reactively, often when a problem has already escalated.
If this resonates, the issue is not a lack of legal advice. It is a lack of legal support that fits how your business actually operates.
How I Support Your Team
Growing companies face legal challenges in different ways. Sometimes the need is ongoing and strategic. At other times it is focused on a specific project or period of change.
I support teams through both models.
For clients who need consistent involvement, I act as a Fractional General Counsel and work closely with the business on an ongoing basis. This creates continuity, shared context and proactive risk management.
For clients with a defined challenge, I provide project based support with clear scope, outcomes and timelines. This is ideal where a specific issue needs attention without a long term commitment.
In both cases, the focus is the same. Clear guidance, reduced friction and legal support that helps you move forward.
Why Work With The Founders GC
I take time at the start of every engagement to understand how your business operates, what matters most to you and where legal risk realistically sits. This allows me to deliver support that is relevant, proportionate and aligned with your commercial goals.
My work is designed to reduce uncertainty and decision fatigue. You gain access to senior legal expertise without the cost or rigidity of a full time hire, and without having to repeatedly brief new external advisors.
The result is faster execution, fewer surprises and legal foundations that support growth rather than constrain it
Ways of Working
There is no one size fits all approach to legal support. I work with clients in two main ways:
Ongoing support
Fractional General Counsel subscriptions for teams that want consistent access to senior legal expertise and a deep understanding of their business.
Targeted support
Project based engagements for organisations that need help with a specific challenge, transaction or period of growth.
We will always start by identifying what makes most sense for your situation.
Services at a glance
Legal needs change as a business grows. Some teams require ongoing support across contracts, compliance and operations. Others need focused help with a specific project or decision.
My services are designed to reflect this reality.
