Our approach

Legal judgment at the point of decision

Preventative lawyering means reviewing the contract before signature, the people decision before implementation, the data use before launch and the market-entry plan before capital is committed.

See the risk earlierIdentify the legal consequence while there is still room to choose.
Understand the trade-offTranslate law into practical options, not abstract cautions.
Act with a clear sequenceKnow what must happen now, what can wait and who owns the next step.
Keep one legal contextCarry commercial history forward instead of restarting with every issue.
Fractional General Counsel

Choose the level of legal involvement the decision requires

Fractional General Counsel is not one fixed package. Gallant scopes the relationship around the decisions, documents and operating rhythm that need senior legal judgment.
