Fractional General Counsel Services | Law Firm for Legal Support

LumaLex Law provides fractional general counsel services for small and midsize businesses that need senior legal judgment without the fixed cost of a full-time in-house hire. Our model gives your business access to a legal team that can help with contracts, risk, transactions, regulated industry questions, employment matters, and day-to-day legal decisions as they come up.

As outside general counsel, LumaLex Law provides strategic legal support on an as-needed basis, helping leadership teams align legal strategy with business priorities instead of treating legal work as a separate, reactive function.

A full-time general counsel is a six-figure commitment many growing businesses do not need yet. What they often need is a trusted legal partner who can step in when it matters, understand the business quickly, and help leadership make decisions with more confidence.

Senior Legal Counsel Should Feel like a Trusted Advisor, Without the Senior Legal Salary

Growing companies often reach the same point: the legal work is too important to keep handling reactively, but there is not enough volume to justify hiring a full-time general counsel.

That is where fractional general counsel can make sense. Instead of hiring an in-house lawyer before the business is ready, fractional GC services give your company access to experienced legal support on a more flexible basis. You get senior-level judgment when you need it, without taking on the salary, benefits, and overhead that come with a full-time legal hire.

For many small and midsize businesses, that flexibility can be the difference between waiting until a problem becomes urgent and having legal guidance involved early enough to prevent the issue from becoming more expensive.

Growing businesses face a familiar gap: too much legal complexity to handle alone, not enough volume to justify a full-time general counsel. Fractional general counsel closes that gap — flexible, cost-effective access to senior legal judgment, without the six-figure salary, benefits, and overhead of an in-house hire. What sets our fractional GC services apart is who’s actually providing them. Our team of six attorneys brings a combined 25 years of practice leadership and more than $500 million in closed transactions across M&A and commercial real estate, alongside broad experience spanning corporate structuring, healthcare regulatory matters, employment law, and complex contract negotiation. That means you’re not getting a single generalist reviewing your contracts in isolation — you’re getting a team of business-minded problem-solvers who’ve sat on the other side of the table, understand deal pressure, and look for the practical path forward rather than the most cautious one. Whether you need ongoing contract review, help navigating a regulated industry, support through a transaction, or simply a legal partner who knows your business well enough to move fast when it counts, our fractional GC model scales to where you are today and grows with you. 

Our fractional GC model is built for companies that need senior legal judgment across contracts, regulatory compliance, transactions, payment issues, reporting obligations, employment questions, and the legal issues that arise during growth.

Built for the Legal Needs Growing Business Clients Actually Have

Fractional general counsel is most useful when legal issues are recurring, connected, and business-critical.

A single contract may affect pricing. A vendor issue may affect operations. A hiring decision may create employment exposure. A deal opportunity may raise corporate, regulatory, and tax questions at the same time. When those issues are handled one at a time, by different advisors who do not know the business, leadership can lose time and context.

LumaLex Law gives your business one legal relationship with broader visibility into the company. That means legal support can be more practical because it is not starting from zero every time a new question comes up.

For a startup or growing company, legal needs rarely arrive in a neat order. One week may involve contract review or vendor negotiations. The next may involve recruitment, employment questions, a potential fund or investment opportunity, or a dispute that could become litigation if it is not handled early.

Need a legal partner who sees the whole picture — contracts, compliance, deals, disputes — instead of juggling five different specialists? One team, one relationship, full visibility into your business.

More Than a Generalist on Retainer

Most fractional GC services give you a generalist on retainer. LumaLex Law gives your business access to a team.

Our fractional general counsel model is backed by six attorneys with 25+ years of combined practice leadership and more than $500 million in closed transactions. That experience matters because growing businesses rarely need legal answers in a vacuum. They need legal support that understands business pressure, deal timing, operational risk, and the practical path forward.

Most fractional GCs review your deals. Our team has closed over half a billion dollars’ worth. That does not mean every question needs to become a major legal project. It means your business has access to senior legal judgment when the stakes are high and practical support when the issue is routine.

Flexible Legal Support That Can Scale With the Business

Your legal needs may not look the same every month. Some months may require contract review, vendor negotiations, or employment questions. Other months may involve a transaction, a regulatory issue, a new business line, or a more complex corporate decision. A fractional GC relationship allows the support to scale with the business instead of forcing the company into a full-time hire before it is ready.

LumaLex Law’s fractional GC services are designed for businesses that need more than occasional legal help but do not yet need a full-time general counsel.

Too much legal complexity for a solo founder, not enough volume for a full-time hire? That is exactly where fractional GC fits, and where we specialize.

What Makes LumaLex Law Different

LumaLex Law combines the practical flexibility of outside counsel with the kind of business-minded judgment companies expect from an in-house legal partner.

Our team brings experience across corporate structuring, M&A, commercial real estate, healthcare regulatory matters, employment law, and complex contract negotiation. That cross-disciplinary perspective allows us to help clients think through legal decisions in context, not in silos.

We do not bill by the task. We think like a partner in your business.

Whether your company needs ongoing contract support, help navigating a regulated industry, support through a transaction, or a legal team that can move quickly when decisions need to be made, fractional general counsel gives you access to the right level of support without the full-time commitment.

Fractional General Counsel for Small and Midsize Businesses

The goal of fractional GC is not to add legal complexity. It is to give your business a practical legal partner who understands the company well enough to be useful before problems become urgent.

With LumaLex Law, your business gets senior-level legal judgment without a six-figure in-house salary, a six-attorney team with 25+ years of combined practice leadership, and $500M+ in closed transactions across M&A and commercial real estate.

You also get broad support across corporate, real estate, healthcare regulatory, employment law, and complex contract negotiation, with a flexible engagement that can scale up or down as your business needs change.

Outside counsel built by a team that has actually run law practices and knows what growing businesses really need from legal support.
