Most small business owners cannot afford (nor does it make financial sense) to hire their own general counsel, devoted exclusively to their company. But legal issues come up fairly regularly and advice about the law is always needed. Hiring attorneys on an "ad hoc" basis does not allow counsel to have a real understanding of the structure of your company, history of dealings, agreements in place, employees, etc... And it always costs more (and sometimes gets you worse results) for the ad hoc lawyer to spend time going through your situation. The term "fractional" general counsel applies to a lawyer who, for a flat monthly fee, interacts and understands your business dealings on a regular basis. Generally, this results in less cost and minimizes any "emergency" legal issues.
