Who this is for

The decisions Ontario owners bring to DRG Law for fractional general counsel

Each entry below names a decision and the legal structure DRG Law writes around it. If the matter on your desk fits one of these, send it to Damaris.

01

Steady stream of legal questions

Startups and small business owners with new legal questions every few weeks need a lawyer who answers without a new agreement each time. The DRG Law Fractional General Counsel arrangement is being finalised. Until then, Damaris answers questions directly.

02

Recurring contracts and operating questions

Contracts, supplier agreements, and day-to-day legal questions that come up every month are exactly where Fractional General Counsel costs less than paying per matter. The monthly price is being finalised.

03

A steady legal point of contact

One lawyer who knows your company's history is a different working relationship from picking a lawyer for each new question. DRG Law brings that continuity.

How DRG Law writes it

How DRG Law's Fractional General Counsel works

The monthly Fractional General Counsel retainer is being finalised. The mechanic below is what the arrangement is built around, what the lawyer holds, what the owner gets, and how the cost compares.

One lawyer holds the file

Damaris reads every question. The Fractional GC retainer is not a help-desk that routes to a junior lawyer, it is the same continuity model as a per-matter DRG Law file, monthly.

Same written brief, monthly cadence

Each Fractional GC question gets the five-line DRG Law brief: risk, cost, timeline, decision, next step. The structure holds across months so the file's history stays readable.

Cost capped by retainer

The monthly retainer caps the cost for the questions covered in scope. Questions out of scope are quoted separately, with the Fractional GC rate as a discount.
