Fractional Legal Retainer
Ongoing legal support, without the full-time fees. Flexi options 6-12 months, 5-10 hours per month.
Service Description
Give your creative business continuous legal support with our Fractional Legal Retainer. This service is designed for startups, studios, and creative entrepreneurs who need flexible, ongoing legal guidance without hiring a full-time solicitor. With a Fractional Legal Retainer, you purchase a fixed number of hours per month that can be used for: Reviewing and drafting commercial contracts with clients, collaborators, or contractors. Protecting intellectual property, including copyright, trademark, and licensing agreements. Advising on corporate and commercial matters, including business structure, compliance, and fundraising. Answering ad-hoc legal questions and providing risk mitigation strategies. This model gives you the flexibility of “pay-as-you-go” legal support while securing priority access to our legal owls. Hours can be rolled over (if applicable) and are billed monthly in advance, making budgeting predictable. The Fractional Legal Retainer is ideal for creative businesses with ongoing legal needs, such as: video game studios managing multiple projects, art studios with frequent contracts, or tech startups navigating IP and commercial agreements. If you need legal support beyond the retainer or want to tackle larger projects, you can book additional consultations or purchase Licensed Products alongside the retainer for comprehensive coverage. Think of this as having a trusted legal partner by your side, providing clarity, confidence, and guidance whenever your business needs it - without the expense of a full-time in-house solicitor. Please take note: our legal owls are highly trained consultants and are not regulated by the SRA nor provide regulated services.
