Lapis Legal Group LLC

Fractional Launch Surge Support

The launch is coming. The timeline is real. And legal cannot be the bottleneck.

For some companies, that means a bandwidth problem. Not enough senior legal coverage to handle the volume. For others, it means something more urgent: the infrastructure was never built, the processes were never established, and the clock is running.

Either way, you need someone who has done this before. Someone who can step in, assess what exists, build what doesn’t, and keep the launch moving.

What This Is

Fractional Launch Surge Support is a discrete, intensive, time-bound engagement. Lapis Legal embeds with your team for the duration of the launch, handling the legal and compliance work that a commercial launch requires, from promotional review and MLR support to launch readiness infrastructure and risk assessment.

It has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The timeline is yours. The standard is ours.

Meredith handles or personally oversees every launch surge engagement. What you get is senior judgment applied with urgency and someone who has rowed in this boat before.

What It Looks Like in Practice

Fractional Launch Surge engagements typically include:

  • Promotional and advertising review and MLR support throughout the launch period
  • Launch readiness assessment, identifying gaps before they become compliance problems
  • FDA promotional compliance guidance specific to the brand, the indication, and the regulatory history
  • Healthcare fraud and abuse counseling on commercial tactics, speaker programs, and market access strategies
  • Policy and process build where the infrastructure doesn’t yet exist
  • Cross-functional partnership with medical, regulatory, commercial, and marketing teams under launch pressure
And the calm, senior presence that keeps the team focused when the pressure is highest.
We work alongside your existing outside counsel and subject matter experts where needed, and can manage those relationships throughout the engagement.

Who This Is For

This engagement is designed for life sciences companies at any stage approaching a commercial launch that need dedicated senior legal support for the duration.
  • You’re a larger company with an existing legal team, but the launch volume has outpaced current bandwidth and something has to give. It won’t be the quality of the legal work.
  • You’re a smaller or pre-commercial company approaching your first launch. The compliance infrastructure isn’t built yet and you need someone who has done this before, multiple times across multiple therapeutic areas, to help you build it right.
  • The launch is closer than the current legal coverage can support. You need someone in now.

If the timeline is real and the stakes are high, that’s exactly when this engagement was designed to be called.

How It’s Structured

Fractional Launch Surge engagements are structured as a flat-fee project or monthly subscription for the duration of the launch period. Scope and timeline are defined upfront. Engagements typically begin with a launch readiness assessment to align on priorities and gaps, followed by embedded coverage through launch and the immediate post-launch period.

The launch window doesn’t move. Let’s make sure legal isn’t what slows it down.
