Rapidly shifting leadership priorities, employees without bandwidth, and temporary projects that require focused attention are all useful cause cases for engaging fractional or embedded support.

"We move fast" is a phrase I hear often. I can:
Clear the backlogged legal contracts queue
Triage operational and legal dept. fires
Develop compliant systems and procedures that improve efficiency while reducing risks.

"We grew, but never updated our processes." I can:
Integrate into your workflow to identify compliance gaps, risks, and operational bottlenecks
Provide real-time, actionable legal and operational solutions
Implement solutions and training for the team
"A senior legal or operational leader is going on maternity/paternity leave." I can:
Coordinate with your employee prior to departure to identify priorities and preferred practices
Backfill the role during leave, tracking updates
Transition the role at the end of leave with full debrief and ad-hoc follow-up if needed
"We lost a key team member unexpectedly." I can:
Onboard quickly and navigate the unexpected with your team
Identify open matters, prioritize needs, and keep tasks on track
Work with HR to prep the job description, conduct initial interviews, and provide a smooth transition to your new hire.
"We have a special project." I can:
Coordinate with project stakeholders
Develop a plan for approval
Lead project team with focused effort
Manage third parties contractors
Prep training documents/conduct trainings
If you need senior-level legal and operational leadership without the full-time hire, please reach out.
If we're not a good fit for each other, I'm happy to offer referrals if I can.

How Can I Help?






Flexible. Mission-Aligned.
Engagement Options
I operate as fractional, embedded, or outside counsel. What's the difference?
Fractional Counsel: I operate on a part-time basis for your company each month. The specific number of hours is set in advance. Hours can be scaled up/down on a monthly basis. This allows your team access to the experience they need while reducing overhead.
Embedded Counsel: I operate as an extension of your team on a set schedule each week. You provision a company email and hardware. I am fully integrated into your systems. This allows for rapid problem-solving and proactive risk management.
Outside Counsel: I operate on an ad-hoc basis at an hourly rate. This provides continuous expertise to be available when the needs are not routine or urgent.
Mission-Aligned Leadership
I strive to deeply understand your mission and operational cadence from day one. My services are designed to ensure your legal and operational architecture scales in alignment with your core values and impact goals.
Impact-Driven
My personal mission is to provide companies working to help people, animals, and the planet with the senior general counsel, Chief of Staff, and COO capabilities they need to achieve measurable impact.
Focus Areas
Over 15 years of experience guiding Fortune 500 companies, small and medium sized businesses, non-profits, and purpose-led startups.
