Common questions
When does Forward Deployed General Counsel make sense?
Forward Deployed General Counsel can be a good fit when legal questions are recurring, contract volume is growing, or leadership needs a consistent legal partner without hiring a full-time legal lead.
Can you work with an existing legal department?
Yes. Our practice supports legal departments as well as founders and companies. Forward Deployed General Counsel support can add capacity for contracting, day-to-day legal questions, or defined projects alongside an existing team.
What is the difference between Forward Deployed General Counsel and a single project?
A project engagement addresses a defined matter. Forward Deployed General Counsel provides continuing support across a broader set of legal priorities, with a scope that reflects the business's needs.
