Question 1

What does a fractional CLO do?

Accepted Answer

A fractional CLO provides strategic legal leadership on a part-time basis. They oversee contracts and negotiations, manage regulatory compliance, advise on corporate governance, handle intellectual property strategy, and reduce the company's dependence on expensive outside counsel.

Question 2

How much does a fractional CLO cost?

Accepted Answer

A fractional CLO typically costs $5,000 to $12,000 per month in the US for 10 to 20 hours of work per week. This represents a 40 to 65 percent cost savings compared to a full-time general counsel hire at $200,000 to $350,000 per year.

Question 3

What is the difference between a fractional CLO and a law firm?

Accepted Answer

A law firm provides outside counsel on specific legal matters and bills by the hour. A fractional CLO embeds inside your company, leads legal strategy, manages outside counsel relationships, and proactively reduces legal risk. They are a strategic partner, not a reactive service provider.
