Board-Level Advisory Partnership Through Embedded Fractional General Counsel

Advisory Partnership

Embedded General Counsel for Strategic Decision-Making

At Decimal Law, legal guidance is not treated as a series of isolated tasks or one-off engagements. Our advisory model is built around embedded fractional general counsel—providing companies with ongoing legal leadership that functions as part of the management team rather than an external service provider.

Traditional law firms are typically engaged reactively, brought in to address discrete issues as they arise. While that model works for narrow matters, it often leaves growing companies without consistent legal judgment at the moments when decisions carry the greatest long-term consequences. Fractional Legal by Decimal Law™ was created to close that gap.

Through an ongoing advisory relationship, your general counsel develops a deep, working understanding of your business, operations, risk profile, and strategic objectives. This continuity allows legal considerations to be integrated into everyday decision-making—before problems escalate and before opportunities are missed.

Our role is not simply to answer legal questions, but to help leadership evaluate options, anticipate downstream effects, and make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.

Our Approach

Embedded Partnership – Your fractional general counsel works alongside leadership as a consistent advisor, participating in strategic discussions rather than responding only to isolated legal issues.

Context-Driven Judgment – Legal guidance is informed by an understanding of how your business actually operates, allowing advice to be practical, commercially realistic, and aligned with long-term goals.

Scalable Engagement – Companies receive ongoing counsel at a level appropriate to their needs, without the cost or rigidity of a full-time in-house legal department.

Depth When Needed – When matters require specialized expertise, your general counsel draws on a broader network of experienced attorneys—ensuring depth without fragmentation.

 

The Value of an Embedded Advisor

An embedded advisory relationship changes how companies experience legal counsel. Instead of engaging attorneys only when problems surface, leadership gains access to informed legal judgment on an ongoing basis—at the point decisions are actually being made.

This approach helps companies:

  • Identify legal and regulatory issues earlier

  • Reduce reliance on self-help and reactive problem-solving

  • Align legal strategy with business growth

  • Avoid costly missteps that stem from lack of context

With Decimal Law’s fractional general counsel, legal considerations are integrated into everyday decision-making—before problems escalate and before opportunities are missed.

A Board-Level Advantage

For boards and executive teams, consistency matters. With an embedded fractional general counsel, leadership has a trusted advisor who understands both the legal framework and the business realities behind each decision.

This continuity supports clearer governance, better risk awareness, and more disciplined strategic planning—without requiring the overhead of a permanent in-house legal department.

Why Decimal Law?

Decimal Law™ was built for companies that need real general counsel support, not repackaged hourly legal services. Our advisory model emphasizes continuity, judgment, and integration—allowing legal guidance to evolve alongside the business.

By embedding fractional general counsel and supporting that role with access to additional expertise when needed, we provide a practical alternative to both transactional outside counsel and full-time in-house staffing. The result is legal leadership that is informed, proactive, and aligned with how growing companies actually operate.
