Fractional General Counsel Services
How we handle Fractional General Counsel services
Legal issues don’t always come with warning signs. Whether you’re managing contracts, employees, or unexpected conflicts, having a legal partner who understands your business can make all the difference.
Our Fractional General Counsel services give you direct access to the same strategic legal support big companies rely on—without the overhead of a full-time hire. We help businesses stay prepared, protect what they’ve built, and handle disputes before they become problems.
And if a dispute ever reaches the courtroom, you won’t need to find someone new—we’re already in your corner and ready to go to trial. Because at Thompson & Howle, we believe in standing with our clients from day one, all the way through the finish line.
