/ FRACTIONAL IN-HOUSE COUNSEL

Your In-House Lawyer. Without the Full-Time Cost.

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

On a monthly retainer, we handle your full legal agenda.

Unlike outside counsel who bill by the hour, our fractional GC retainer gives you a senior BigLaw-trained partner embedded in your business — proactive, always-on, and invested in your outcomes.
