FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What does a fractional in-house lawyer actually do?

They act as your part-time General Counsel, handling contracts, compliance, fundraising and day-to-day legal questions, embedded in your team but at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Alan Wong LLP remains your external solicitors throughout; what changes is how the relationship is priced and how easily you can reach us.

How is this different from instructing a firm matter by matter?

A fractional GC works on a fixed monthly retainer rather than a fee per matter, and is involved in the business continuously rather than instructed for discrete pieces of work. You can raise something early, before it has become a matter at all.

What size of business is this suited for?

Typically startups, scale-ups, SMEs and companies expanding into Hong Kong that need senior legal judgement regularly but not a full-time General Counsel.

How is pricing structured?

A single fixed monthly retainer based on the scope and volume you need, agreed before we start, with no long-term lock-in.
