FRACTIONAL GENERAL COUNSEL
Contracts, compliance and risk, owned by a licensed lawyer who is in the room.
A licensed attorney in the seat one to three days a week, owning contracts, compliance and risk for a business that has outgrown ad hoc legal. The seat comes with the document and back-office engines, so contract intake, review workflows and the compliance calendar run as systems while the lawyer does the judgment. Legal services are provided by the attorney under a separate engagement; Ometz AI is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
Who it is for
The businesses this seat was built for.
- Businesses signing customer and vendor contracts that nobody reads all the way through
- Companies with privacy, employment and licensing obligations they could not list if asked
- Owners preparing for a sale, a raise, or an enterprise customer's legal and security review
- Firms paying outside counsel by the hour for questions a general counsel answers in a call
What the executive owns
A mandate, not a to-do list.
Contracts, as a workflow
Templates and a playbook for the agreements you sign most. Intake, routing and tracking handled by the engine; every review and every deviation decided by the lawyer. Turnaround measured, not hoped for.
Compliance calendar
Licences, filings, renewals, employment and industry obligations in one calendar that surfaces what is due before it is late. Owned by the seat, not remembered by the founder.
Privacy and data
Policies, consent, retention and vendor terms for the data the engines run on, agreed with the CFO and the CTO so the legal position and the technical reality match.
Risk and insurance
Indemnities, limitation clauses, coverage and claims handled as a set rather than discovered one dispute at a time.
Disputes and outside counsel
Early handling of the disagreement before it becomes a matter. Specialists and litigators engaged when needed and managed by someone who reads the invoices.
Entity and governance
Minutes, resolutions, ownership records and the agreements between owners kept current, so a buyer's diligence finds a tidy room.
The first ninety days
Baseline first. Then the engines. Then the rhythm.
Every seat starts the same way: measure what is true today, so what changes can be shown against it.
Inventory and exposure
Every contract in force, every obligation and licence, every open risk, listed. Turnaround on contract review measured. The number the seat owns is agreed: usually unreviewed agreements or review turnaround.
Templates and the workflow
Playbook agreements for the contracts you sign most. Intake and tracking live through the engines; the lawyer reviews what the playbook does not settle. Privacy policies and vendor terms brought in line with what the engines actually do.
Calendar, coverage, rhythm
The compliance calendar running with owners for each item. Insurance and indemnities reviewed as a set. A monthly legal review with your leadership, and outside counsel engaged only where the seat decides it is needed.

Fractional General Counsel FAQ
No. Advice comes from the licensed attorney in the seat, under an engagement letter between you and that attorney. The engines move documents, route them, track deadlines and prepare drafts against the playbook; they never opine, and nothing they produce goes out without the lawyer's review.
