Senior legal leadership, without the full-time role
Scalar's lawyers bring former GC, CLO, and senior in-house experience to recurring corporate legal needs — principal-led engagements with a defined scope and a fixed monthly fee. Project counsel is available for discrete matters.
Corporate counsel for growing companies
Scalar Law is a boutique corporate firm built for emerging growth companies that want strategic counsel — not just transactional support. We serve companies from formation through growth and beyond — embedded as fractional GC, or available as traditional outside counsel for specific matters.
Same depth of experience, same founder-first posture, structured around how you actually operate.
Flexible
Fractional retainer or hourly engagement — choose the structure that matches your stage and burn.
Startup to Exit
Counsel that compounds across the full company lifecycle, from first formation to liquidity event.
Founder-First
Practical legal work tuned to the realities of building — proactive, business-minded, transparent.
Two ways to engage. One team behind both
Some companies need an embedded legal partner who's in the trenches with them daily. Others need experienced counsel they can call on for specific matters. We do both — same expertise, different cadence.
Embedded partnership
Senior counsel without full-time headcount — Slack and email access during business hours, an ongoing contract pipeline, board cadence, and counsel as decisions are made. Scope is defined at engagement; major transactions and specialty work are separately scoped.
- Direct access during business hours
- Ongoing contract review pipeline
- Board cadence and corporate housekeeping
- Strategic counsel before decisions, not after
Project or hourly
For specific matters — financing rounds, M&A, major contracts — or as overflow capacity for companies with in-house legal. No retainer, scope-defined engagements.
- Financing rounds and term sheet work
- M&A transactions, buy- and sell-side
- Major commercial contracts
- Overflow for in-house teams
Fractional GC and traditional outside counsel — same team, same standards, two engagement structures.
Talk to us about which fits→Six practice areas. One coordinated team
Board, equity, contracts, fundraising, employment, and exit — the corporate work growth-stage companies most need. Whether you engage us fractionally or by project, the same lawyers cover the same ground.
Corporate Governance
Board management, equity structures, corporate housekeeping, and compliance frameworks that hold up under diligence.
Commercial Contracts
Customer agreements, vendor contracts, partnerships, and the strategic transactions that move the business forward.
Equity & Compensation
Stock option plans, employee equity, executive compensation, and cap table management — built for the long arc.
Fundraising Support
Term sheet negotiation, due diligence coordination, and investor relations across priced rounds and bridge instruments.
Employment Matters
Hiring documentation, policies, terminations, and the employment compliance work that keeps growth from creating exposure.
M&A Transactions
Buy-side and sell-side transactions, LOIs, and deal execution — from first conversation through close.
Let's talk about what you're building
We're selective about the clients we take on. If you're a growth-stage company looking for a true legal partner — not just a vendor you call when things break — we'd like to hear from you.
