    GLOSSARY

    Fractional General Counsel

    Fractional general counsel is an external or part-time senior lawyer who provides a portion of the capacity and judgment associated with an in-house general counsel role.

    Why it matters

    The label often overlaps with outside or outsourced general counsel. The practical question is whether the relationship provides clear ownership, access, continuity, proactive oversight, and an operating model suited to the organization.
