In the conversation with Marcy, Chris looked to find out:

 
  • What is a “fractional general counsel” and how is it different than hiring an attorney only when a problem arises?
  • Many business owners focus only on sales and operations. Why should they also be thinking about corporate governance?
  • Business owners often assume hiring a general counsel is only for large corporations. Why is fractional general counsel an attractive option for small and mid-sized businesses?
  • How does billing typically work for a fractional general counsel relationship?
  • If a business owner is wondering whether they could benefit from a fractional general counsel, what signs should they look for?
