Frequently asked Questions

I get this question constantly:

"How does it actually work to work with you?"

The fractional legal model is still new to many businesses and law firms, so here's exactly what you can expect when we work together.

For Business Owners

Getting Started

We begin with a consultation to understand your business, team size, current challenges, and goals. From there, we determine the best arrangement for your needs.

How We Work Together

  • Ongoing access: Email, calls, or scheduled check-ins as your business needs arise

  • Team integration: Depending on your needs, I can work directly with your leadership team, HR, or managers

  • Strategic projects: Contract reviews, policy development, manager training, etc.

  • Crisis support: Available when urgent employment issues surface

  • Preventive planning: Regular compliance reviews to avoid problems before they start

Pricing & Payment: 

Most fractional clients choose a flat monthly fee that includes a set number of hours, providing predictable costs and easy budgeting. For project-based work, I offer flat-rate pricing so you know the cost upfront. Hourly rates are available when that structure works better for your situation.

For Law Firms

Getting Started

We begin with a consultation to understand you and your client’s needs.

From there, you send me your research request or drafting assignment with the project scope, deadline, and any client-specific considerations.

How We Collaborate

  • Specialized support: I handle employment law matters outside your firm's primary expertise

  • Capacity relief: Take on employment work when your team is at capacity with other matters

  • Seamless integration: You maintain all client relationships and strategic decisions

  • Complete client service: Your clients get comprehensive legal support across practice areas

  • Follow-up available: Revisions and additional questions as needed

Pricing & Payment

I invoice you directly at competitive hourly or flat rates (typically lower than what you'd pay a traditional firm). You then bill your client as you normally would.

This arrangement often saves you time and your clients’ money, while providing you with access to specialized expertise.

Why This Model Works?

For Businesses: Get part-time employment law expertise that knows your company inside and out - without the overhead of a full-time hire.

For Law Firms: Increase capacity and provide comprehensive client service by partnering with specialized employment law expertise when you and your client need it.

What Makes It Different?

This isn't traditional legal services. It's more strategic, collaborative, and flexible. You get practical, business-focused legal expertise exactly when and how you need it.
