Fractional General Counsel services tailored to your company’s needs.
As a fractional GC, I work closely with your team to understand the business—not just the legal issue—and stay engaged as decisions move from question to execution.
I’m your first call for understanding issues, framing next steps, and moving the work forward—especially if it touches contracts, governance, partnerships, investors, or key stakeholders.
A practical, embedded operator with legal, strategic, and investor experience.
I began my career at Husch Blackwell before moving in-house as General Counsel and Investment Principal at KCRise Fund, where I worked closely with 50+ portfolio companies across sectors and stages.
At the $100M AUM seed-stage venture fund, I supported board matters, financings, strategic partnerships, and day-to-day legal decision-making alongside founders, executives, and boards.
The work blended legal, operational, and strategic responsibilities, which gave me a grounded view of how legal decisions fit into the broader rhythm of a growing business.
My approach is practical, relationship-driven, and focused on helping teams move with clarity as the business scales. You can learn more about my background on LinkedIn.
Clear, coordinated legal support that moves with your business.
I step in where legal complexity intersects with momentum—helping leadership teams address the issues that stall progress, create risk, or demand experienced judgment.
Contract backlogs
Resolving bottlenecks that slow revenue and execution.
Board, financing, or governance work
Supporting high-stakes leadership and capital decisions.
Strategic partnerships or investor matters
Structuring and negotiating critical relationships.
Outside counsel management and spend control
Selecting, coordinating, and timing advisors effectively.
The result is clearer execution, fewer surprises, and legal work that actually supports the business.
I centralize the legal issues and materials that typically live across teams.
Legal work often lives across teams, inboxes, and outside firms—making it harder to see priorities clearly or move decisively.
