A senior level, ‘in house style’ General Counsel solution for 1–20 person science and tech ventures—delivered as outside counsel, at a fraction of the cost of a junior in house attorney. We provide strategic IP, regulatory, and deal-level insight in one predictably priced package, serving as your embedded legal leadership without the overhead of a full time hire.

Fractional SciTech General Counsel

Legal leadership for engineering-driven startups, at a fraction of the cost of a junior in-house counsel.

Why clients choose this over hiring in house

This is outside counsel level flexibility, with the consistency and strategic presence of in-house leadership.
Costs less than a junior in-house attorney, but delivers senior-level IP, regulatory, and deal insight in one place.
Predictable monthly pricing, with no recruiter fees, benefits, or equity dilution drag.
Deep industry experience (AI, defense, robotics, biotech, hardware, frontier tech).
Immediate access to patent, regulatory, and transactional expertise—no onboarding ramp.
Scalable runway: retain while you decide whether to hire a full-time GC later, or when you exceed the 20-person threshold.

Ready to Secure Your Competitive Edge?

Don’t let your innovation go unprotected. Join the startups and inventors who trust us to navigate the complexities of IP law and technology.
