Outside General Counsel and Fractional CLO for Growing Businesses
Noffke Law provides outside general counsel and fractional CLO services for growing companies - embedded legal leadership without a full-time hire. We step in when legal issues keep showing up or matter strategically - typically around growth, frequent contracts, hiring, ownership changes, compliance, and deal planning.
Embedded Legal Leadership
This is more than on-call legal help - an insourced Chief Legal Officer and a trusted extension of your team. You get judgment, systems, and responsiveness on a recurring basis, not crisis by crisis.
Recurring Counsel, Predictable Cost
Engagements are built for predictability - retainer or subscription models with a known cost and a known point of contact, instead of surprise hourly bills for every question.
Risk Triage and Legal Systems
Beyond answering questions, we build the systems a growing company needs: contract playbooks, governance practices, and a process for spotting risk before it becomes a problem.
When Outside GC Becomes Fractional CLO
The difference is depth. As outside GC, we answer the legal questions your business generates. As fractional CLO, we own the function - setting legal strategy, building internal processes, and sitting with the executive team. We scale that support to where your business is.
Frequently Asked Questions
