Capability 01 · Keep legal moving
LegalOps.
The operational legal layer: counsel, contracts, regulatory research and risk.
Overview
Most growing companies do not need another law firm. They need someone to run legal work as an operation: choosing the right counsel, keeping contracts moving, researching the regulation that applies, and turning legal risk into decisions the leadership team can make. It runs alongside your counsel, not in place of it.
Included in every Fractional plan, and available as a standalone engagement.
What we do
- Counsel search and coordination
- We identify, brief and manage specialist counsel across jurisdictions, and keep scope, cost and timelines under control.
- Contract management
- Templates, review queues, trackers and renewals, so agreements stop waiting on the founder.
- Regulatory research
- Jurisdiction-specific research on the rules that apply to your product, market or transaction, written for decision-makers.
- Risk analysis
- Structured assessments of regulatory, operational and governance risk, by stakeholder group, with mitigations.
- Legal protocols and back office
- Policies, standard processes, IP and data-protection measures, and day-to-day legal administration.
Typical deliverables
- Counsel shortlists and briefing packs
- Contract templates and a live contract tracker
- Regulatory research memos
- Risk registers and risk profiles for board or governance decisions
- Legal operations protocols and policies
When to call us
- Legal work is waiting on the founder or CEO
- You are entering a new jurisdiction or a regulated market
- External counsel costs are rising without clear scope
- A transaction or governance change needs a risk view
