Legal has no owner.
Contracts, privacy questions, and board items are being handled by whoever has time, and decisions are drifting.
Fractional General Counsel
Senior legal judgment, embedded in your operating rhythm, at a fraction of the cost of the hire you do not need yet.
Operating Rhythm
Between "we ask a lawyer when something is on fire" and "we hired a general counsel" sits a long stretch where most technology companies actually live. Legal questions arrive weekly, they touch product and revenue, and nobody owns them.
Fractional GC means WestBridge owns them. We sit inside your operating rhythm, triage what arrives, handle what sits in our focus, and manage specialist counsel for what does not. The company gets a legal function, not a vendor.
When legal questions start arriving faster than answers.
The need is real but not full-time.
There is steady legal work every month, and not enough to justify a senior in-house salary.
An inflection is coming.
A financing, a big customer, or a launch will multiply the legal surface area, and you want the function in place first.
A working legal function, on a monthly structure.
- Recurring legal counsel on a monthly structure
- Legal triage and prioritization across the business
- Contract flow ownership and negotiation
- Board, financing, and governance support
- Specialist and local counsel coordination
- Legal function design for an eventual in-house hire
Embedded enough to anticipate, independent enough to say no.

Baseline
We audit the current legal surface: contracts, data, IP, entities, and open risks.
/ 02
Cadence
A standing rhythm of check-ins and triage, so legal stops being a fire drill.
/ 03
Operate
We run the recurring work inside our focus and coordinate specialists where the matter demands one.
/ 04
Hand over
When a full-time hire makes sense, you inherit an organized function, not a pile of loose ends.
