Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding Quarters Legal

  • We act as your part-time General Counsel—handling commercial legal work, contracts, and compliance with none of the overhead of a full-time hire. We also act as your on-demand senior legal support for overflow work, adhoc or project support.

  • A fractional General Counsel is a senior lawyer who supports your business part-time, helping with legal strategy, documents, risk, and more.

  • We work with founders, owners, franchisors, SMEs, PE-backed and fast-growing businesses, large organisations and operational teams who want reliable legal support that keeps up with them.

  • We have expertise working in a range of sectors such as retail, leisure & hospitality, media and advertising, FMCG, franchising, technology, professional services. We understand how your industry works and we know how to apply our skills and knowledge to your business.

What we offer

  • A whole range of commercial business related services including commercial contracts (drafting, reviewing, negotiating), consumer law, data protection, risk and governance, regulatory and compliance, legal operations and strategic legal input—tailored to your business.

  • Both. You can start with a short project (like a contract review or a compliance check) and upgrade to monthly support later.

  • Absolutely. We often work alongside in-house counsel or other advisors. We also have some go to specialist law firms we know should the need arise and we are more than happy to introduce you to.

  • We would love to do everything for you, but we know there will always be certain limitations. Sometimes we will recommend a traditional law firm is used in certain scenarios. For example, we are not able to undertake litigation for you.

    We also do not currently have our own internal employment lawyer or property specialist. This is similar to most in-house teams, who manage these key areas in a different way. We can assist you with working out the best way forward for your business with these.
