/ FRACTIONAL IN-HOUSE COUNSEL
Your Fractional In-House Lawyer in Hong Kong
A dedicated fractional General Counsel gives your business access to senior legal expertise on a flexible monthly retainer without the overhead of a full-time hire. Alan Wong LLP provides partner-led fractional in-house counsel to Hong Kong startups, SMEs, crypto/Web3 companies, and multinationals expanding into Asia.
Whether you need a trusted legal partner for day-to-day commercial matters, regulatory navigation, or Board-level advisory, our fractional GC service delivers the depth of a BigLaw-trained lawyer at a fraction of the cost.
/ WHAT WE DO

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about working with a fractional in-house lawyer.
A fractional in-house lawyer acts as your part-time General Counsel — reviewing contracts, advising on legal risk, handling compliance and supporting business decisions. Unlike a law firm, we work alongside your team on an ongoing basis.
A law firm bills by the hour and handles discrete matters. A fractional in-house lawyer integrates into your business proactively — attending meetings, flagging risk early and giving you strategic legal guidance at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
This works best for SMEs, scale-ups and founder-led businesses that need regular legal input but aren’t ready to hire a full-time lawyer. If you’re regularly signing contracts, managing employment matters or growing into new markets, this is for you.
We work on fixed monthly fees so there are no surprise invoices. The fee is agreed upfront based on your anticipated needs and can be scaled up or down as your business evolves.
