Our Process
FOR EARLY-STAGE BUILDERS
Readiness Assessment
If you are still developing traction, a full Strategy & Risk session may not be too soon. We suggest a limited 30-minute founder call, focused on scoping and directional guidance only.
FOR GROWTH ENTERPRISES
Self-Serve Resources
Next step would be utilizing pay-as-you-go playbooks and frameworks designed to help founders think clearly about risk, governance, and compliance before engaging counsel.
Strategic Alignment
Designed to identify the decisions or risks that matter most in the next 30–90 days, clarify regulatory exposure and governance gaps, determine whether a longer-term engagement makes sense.
Engagement Design
Post-strategy session, we begin to define projects, distinguish ongoing advisory or retained outside counsel relationships, then create fractional-style support embedded with legal, compliance, or executive teams

[ CASE STUDY ]Cross-Border Cybersecurity Governance Post-Randsomware Incident
THE CHALLENGE
A data transfer company operating across US and Caribbean markets suffered a ransomware attack compromising client files. The incident triggered regulatory obligations in multiple jurisdictions, exposed gaps in their vendor management framework, and threatened client relationships built over decades and threatened investor confidence. They needed immediate legal guidance to navigate incident response while building long-term governance infrastructure to prevent recurrence.
OUR APPROACH
We deployed fractional General Counsel services, providing immediate incident response coordination alongside strategic governance buildout:
Incident Response Coordination: Advised on regulatory notification obligations across jurisdictions, coordinated with cybersecurity forensics vendors, and managed client communications to preserve relationships during crisis.
Policy Documentation: Drafted comprehensive cybersecurity policies, incident response playbooks, and vendor management frameworks aligned with NIST Cybersecurity Framework and applicable international data protection standards
Vendor Contract Review: Audited existing technology vendor agreements, negotiated enhanced data protection terms, and implemented ongoing vendor risk assessment protocols.
Ongoing Compliance: Established monthly compliance check-ins, quarterly governance audits, and board-level cybersecurity reporting to demonstrate institutional commitment to data protection.
THE OUTCOME
Within 90 days, the company had defensible governance documentation and satisfied regulatory obligations across jurisdictions. The fractional GC model provided specialized cybersecurity legal expertise for less than the cost of a single full-time in-house attorney. Post-incident, the company successfully navigated enterprise security audits that previously would have presented significant challenges.
