What is Fractional
Legal Counsel?
Part-time legal support at a fraction of the cost of traditional retainers on an ongoing basis or for specific projects.
Your business is growing fast, but hiring full-time in-house counsel is not yet the right move. That is where Fractional Legal Counsel comes in.
Virtus Counsel provides dedicated, part-time legal support that integrates seamlessly into your operations, offering the strategic insight of in-house counsel with the efficiency and flexibility of external advisors. You gain proactive, business-minded legal guidance tailored to your stage of growth at a fraction of the cost of traditional retainers.
Whether embedded on an ongoing basis or engaged for specific projects, your Fractional Legal Counsel ensures your business move forward confidently and compliantly.
Why Fractional
Legal Counsel?
No Employee Management
Skip the overhead of a full-time legal hire —no payroll, benefits, vacation days, law society fees, professional development costs, or added infrastructure. With Fractional Legal Counsel, you get the integration of in-house counsel without the administrative weight. Virtus Counsel embeds smoothly into your team as a strategic partner; only when and where you need us.
Business Acumen
Virtus Counsel brings real-world experience leading corporate legal departments. Like you, we are entrepreneurial, decisive, and results-driven. We know that action depends on clarity, not pages of legal jargon. Our advice is built to move your business forward, balancing legal precision with commercial insight.
Adjusts to Fluctuations
Your tailored package comes with a defined number of hours per period. In periods of increased need, add up to 50% more capacity at the Fractional Legal Counsel rate. In periods of decreased need, roll over up to 50% of your unused defined hours into the following period to preserve their value.
Litigation Experience
Virtus Counsel empowers your business with built-in litigation strength. Your Fractional Legal Counsel helps prevent disputes before they arise. And, even if they do, we are ready to advocate and protect your interests directly, allowing your business to stay in control without outsourcing every conflict.
