Expert Legal + Compliance Counsel for Your Business

A Fractional General Counsel offers a cost-effective, tailored, and flexible solution for businesses seeking quality legal support without committing to the overhead tied to hiring a full-time legal executive. Lapis Legal only takes on a very limited number of these clients - 3 to 4 max - to ensure dedicated, responsive, and proactive VIP-level service. Your pricing structure is also designed to suit your needs. Lapis Legal offers hourly, flat rate, and subscription pricing models, depending upon your company's needs.

From start-ups to medium-sized enterprises, this model provides top-tier legal expertise without exhausting 

your budget. 

Companies of all sizes encounter periodic or project-based legal and compliance support demands.
