Your Fractional General Counsel.
Embedded, senior in-house legal cover on a flexible monthly retainer — the judgement of a full-time General Counsel and an AI-native legal engine built around your business, scaled to what you actually need. Senior cover from day one, at a fraction of the cost of a hire.
The Grow model
An in-house legal team, without the headcount.
Kali embeds as your outsourced legal function — senior judgement and an AI-native legal engine built around your business, on one predictable monthly fee. You get the cover of a General Counsel from day one, without the cost, the recruitment, or the risk of a full-time hire.
Day-to-day cover
Your first port of call for contracts, commercial terms, governance and the legal questions that come up as you scale — answered fast, in plain English.
An AI-native engine
A specialist legal AI that learns your business, your templates and your risk appetite — so routine work gets faster and more consistent the longer we work together.
Senior judgement on call
A human expert owns every decision that matters. On a key negotiation, a board question or a real risk, you get a clear recommendation — not just a list of options.
One predictable fee
A fixed monthly retainer scoped to your stage. No hourly meters, no surprise bills — legal cover you can budget for and scale up or down as you grow.
Track record
We've scaled unicorns from the inside — and taken on the giants.

They've negotiated with global players like Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Netflix and eBay. And they've advised companies from pre-seed to Series B and beyond, across the US, EU and UK, on a fractional basis or through one-off pieces of work.

Questions
Fractional GC, answered.
What does a fractional GC actually do?
Everything an in-house General Counsel would — contracts, commercial terms, data and privacy, IP, governance and the day-to-day legal questions that come with scaling — but on a flexible retainer rather than a full-time salary. You get senior cover and a clear recommendation whenever you need one.
How is this different from using a law firm?
A firm bills by the hour and sits outside your business, so you pay a premium every time you pick up the phone. Kali embeds as part of your team on a fixed monthly fee, learns how you work, and is proactive rather than reactive — closer to a hire than a supplier.
What does it cost?
A fixed monthly retainer, scoped to your stage and the level of cover you need, and agreed before any work begins. Far less than a full-time GC, with none of the recruitment cost or risk. We'll give you a clear number on the call.
Is there a long-term commitment?
No lock-in. It's a rolling monthly retainer that flexes with you: scale it up around a fundraise or a busy quarter, and dial it back when things are quieter.
