Fractional General & Legal Counsel
For life sciences, biotech, and technology companies that need ongoing senior-level legal support without a full-time in-house hire, whether as your primary day-to-day General Counsel, or as overflow capacity for a busy legal department, deep subject-matter expertise in a specific area, or as coverage during extended leave.
Project-Based Counsel
For established life sciences, biotech, and technology companies that need experienced senior counsel on a discrete, often complex matter, such as asset acquisitions, major vendor and outsourcing deals, research and licensing agreements, internal policy builds, clinical trial contracting programs, and other significant transactions.
