GeneralCounsel
Strategy, not just triage.
What We Do
カウンセル
Fractional general counsel for companies that need consistent legal support without a full-time hire. Strategy over triage. Present for the slow burns and the fire drills.
Weekly calls. Slack access. Proactive issue spotting. Legal ops embedded with the team — involved early, aware of context, already up to speed when something comes up.
Served as outside GC for a top-50 ranked DeFi protocol — from token launch through $1.4M raise, exchange listings, and ongoing ops and partnership/key personnel development.
Fractional GC for family office — helping to manage legal ops covering multi-state subsidiaries, large IP portfolio, contracts, trust assets matters, real estate, and more.
Embedded with founding teams — weekly strategy calls, proactive service delivery, and hands-on execution across every business line.
What We Handle
Executive Advisory
Regular strategy sessions with founders and leadership. Legal implications surfaced before decisions get locked in.
Board Support
Meeting prep, minute documentation, governance guidance, consent actions. The administrative backbone of a functioning board.
Risk Management
Legal risks identified early, flagged clearly, addressed before they compound. Pattern recognition from seeing how things go wrong.
Outside Counsel Coordination
Specialist counsel brought in when needed — scope managed, spend tracked, work product reviewed. One point of contact.
Policy & Compliance
Internal policies, employee handbooks, compliance frameworks. Documentation that makes audits and diligence boring.
Transaction Quarterback
M&A, financings, major commercial deals. Consistent oversight across workstreams, timelines, and stakeholders.

Trademarks, copyrights, name, image and likeness deals, and trade secrets. The intangible assets that appreciate — eventually worth more than whatever you're actually selling.
