    Next-generation fractional legal support goes beyond the traditional fractional model. While standard fractional lawyers provide flexible, ongoing support, next-gen solutions combine this with broader team-based expertise. My Inhouse Lawyer represents this evolution, offering a more scalable, resilient and commercially effective approach to legal support

  • What is next-gen fractional?

    Next-gen fractional builds on the core benefits of fractional legal support – flexibility, cost efficiency and embedded advice – but removes the limitations of relying on a single individual. It introduces a team-based model, where one lawyer is supported by a wider group of experienced professionals and specialists. This creates a more robust and scalable solution for businesses

  • How it differs from traditional fractional

    Traditional fractional lawyers are often individual practitioners. While effective in many cases, they are limited by one person’s knowledge, availability and capacity. Next-gen fractional models address this by providing access to a wider team, ensuring continuity, broader expertise and the ability to scale support as needed. This fundamentally changes the reliability and capability of the service

  • The role of Legal AI/ Technology and networks

    Next-gen solutions also integrate Legal AI/Tech and external networks where appropriate. This might include using technology to improve efficiency or drawing on specialist lawyers, law firms or non-legal advisers. This creates a more holistic and flexible approach to problem-solving, allowing businesses to access the right expertise at the right time

  • Why this matters for businesses

    Modern businesses face increasingly complex challenges. They need legal support that is not only flexible, but also capable of adapting to different situations. A next-gen legal support model provides this adaptability. It allows businesses to scale support, access specialist expertise and maintain continuity without the cost and rigidity of traditional models

  • Where My Inhouse Lawyer fits

    My Inhouse Lawyer is an example of next-gen fractional legal support. It combines the embedded legal advice you’d get from an internal hire, with the quality, breadth and scale you’d get from a leading law firm, with the flexibility of a fractional solution and incorporates the use of Legal AI/tech as BAU. It has also built a broader professional ecosystem. This creates a more advanced solution than traditional and fractional models

  • In summary

    Next-gen legal support represents the evolution of the fractional model. By combining flexibility with broader expertise, scalability and resilience, it offers a more effective solution for businesses navigating modern legal challenges
