The Need for Executive Command

Scaling enterprises often face a critical gap: they require the strategic judgment of a full-time, seasoned General Counsel, but do not yet have the budget or continuous need for a permanent executive hire. Traditional hourly counsel is reactive and expensive; it lacks the deep, operational integration required to manage executive-level risk and drive cross-functional alignment.

Our Fractional GC Mandate

IRC Legal provides Executive Legal Command on a flexible, fractional basis.

Our Fractional GC service embeds Ian R. Cohen, a veteran BigLaw and General Counsel and strategic deal architect, directly into your management team. This is not hourly advisory; it is a dedicated, retained relationship focused on proactive leadership.

We integrate to transform legal into a core business asset, delivering:

  • Executive-Level Integration: Sitting in on board meetings, executive strategy sessions, and management calls to provide immediate, context-aware legal decisions.
  • Operational Streamlining: Establishing cross-functional processes, compliance programs, and document management systems that enable faster, safer scaling across sales, finance, and HR.
  • In-House Legal Infrastructure: Budgeting legal spend and building the foundational contracts and agreements required for rapid growth.
  • Talent Command: Serving as the key legal architect during critical scaling phases, managing legal strategy for financing rounds, M&A, and complex commercial negotiations.

The Benefits of Command-Level Fractional Counsel

By choosing IRC Legal for Fractional GC services, you gain the expertise of a senior executive while maintaining fiscal discipline.
