Fractional General Counsel

LET'S TALK ABOUT

Fractional General Counsel

Many small businesses and nonprofits need regular legal guidance, but not a full-time in-house lawyer. Our fractional general counsel service fills that gap. For a predictable monthly fee, Herd Law Office becomes your on-call legal department — helping you spot issues early, make informed decisions, and keep your organization moving without surprises.



We get to know how your business actually works: your goals, your team, your contracts, your risk tolerance. Then we help with the day-to-day legal questions that come up around contracts, employees, policies, governance, and growth decisions, so you’re not guessing or waiting until something breaks.

Because our services are structured around a fixed monthly fee, clients feel more comfortable picking up the phone or sending an email when something comes up, instead of hesitating over whether a quick question will turn into a big bill.

Instead of one-off “fire drill” projects, you get ongoing, relationship-based support: clear answers in plain English, practical advice that weighs cost and risk, and consistent help with the legal details that can otherwise pile up. Fractional general counsel gives you the benefits of an in-house lawyer — at a scale and price that fits where you are now.

What is it?

Fractional General Counsel is a way to better meet client needs by allowing clients to know how much they will spend on legal fees without needing to worry about rushing off the phone or only contacting their lawyer for emergencies. We aim to build lasting relationships with our clients and become a key part of helping them reach their business goals.

How Does it Work?

We’ll start by having a free 30-minute consultation to determine if the plan is right for your business. During the call, we will discuss the common issues you face and how legal services may be able to help you. You will get a custom plan designed to match the needs of your business.
