Big Green Egg, Inc. Transitions Flexible Attorney to General Counsel

Big Green Egg, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of ceramic outdoor cooking systems, continues to grow its global footprint and commercial operations.

Contracting activity was increasing at the same time the company’s part-time general counsel was becoming less available. Big Green Egg needed to expand its legal support in a way that aligned with its agile, business-focused approach. Rather than immediately adding permanent headcount, the company sought a flexible solution that would provide senior-level commercial expertise while allowing the organization to remain adaptable as its needs evolved.

The company was looking for an experienced commercial contracts attorney who could contribute immediately, bringing strong judgment, deep contracting experience, and the ability to integrate seamlessly into a growing business.

SOLUTION

To support this strategy, Big Green Egg engaged a senior attorney through Latitude on a flexible, part-time basis.

With more than 20 years of experience across private practice and in-house roles, she brought not only expertise in commercial contracting but also a track record of strategic legal guidance. Her background includes senior positions at respected national law firms and service as a fractional general counsel, advising companies on complex transactions, risk management, and operational strategy.

She offered:

• Strategic legal leadership grounded in prior GC-level experience

• Broad commercial expertise across contracting, vendor, and technology agreements

• Experience advising on data privacy, employment, and risk management matters

From the outset, she integrated seamlessly into Big Green Egg’s team, advancing commercial initiatives while providing thoughtful, high-level counsel across the business.

As the engagement progressed, her responsibilities naturally expanded. The flexible structure of the engagement allowed both the company and the attorney to build alignment over time, ensuring the role evolved alongside the business’s needs.

Recognizing her leadership, experience, and strong cultural fit, Big Green Egg invited her to transition into a permanent role as General Counsel.

“This engagement gave me the chance to immerse myself in the business, build relationships, and contribute in a meaningful way from day one. As the role expanded, it became clear that there was an opportunity to create long-term impact. The flexibility of Latitude’s model made that transition seamless, and I’m honored to now lead the legal function at Big Green Egg.” — Toronda (Tori) Silas | General Counsel, Big Green Egg, Inc.
