Fractional General Counsel for Growing Ontario Businesses
Experienced business legal guidance without hiring a full-time in-house lawyer.
Contracts, governance and growth decisions rarely happen in isolation. Key Business Law provides fractional in-house legal counsel that connects the legal work to your business priorities, with a scope agreed around your company’s needs.
- Commercial contracts and negotiation
- Corporate governance and shareholder matters
- Business growth, risk planning and transactions
An introductory conversation helps establish fit. Legal services begin only after conflict checks and a written engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is fractional counsel different from a full-time hire?
Fractional counsel provides ongoing legal support for an agreed scope without adding a full-time employee. The arrangement depends on the work your company needs and the engagement agreed with the firm.

Tell us the general category of work, such as contracts, governance or a growth-related transaction. The team can assess whether a focused project or ongoing support is appropriate.
