Consumer Services Company Engages Fractional General Counsel, Later Converts to Full-Time Hire

A fast-growing consumer services company needed consistent legal support but did not yet have an in-house legal team. The company had been relying on outside counsel and a solo practitioner in an external GC capacity but required more integrated legal leadership to provide day-to-day in-house guidance and support continued growth. The company sought a senior lawyer with strong commercial judgment and experience across a range of business functions.

They brought in a Latitude attorney to serve as fractional general counsel, advising on corporate matters, commercial agreements, employment issues, real estate expansion, and M&A activity. She brought more than 15 years of experience to the role, including extensive in-house work across multiple industries.

As legal needs grew, the role expanded. Within months, the company transitioned the position to a full-time general counsel role, establishing Latitude’s attorney as its first permanent in-house legal hire.
