PORTFOLIO COUNSEL
Outsourced General Counsel and Legal Department Services
Portfolio Counsel leads your legal function or extends the one you already have, across the US, the UK, and Australia.
How Portfolio Counsel is built
Two components. Buy either one, or both.
Solo fractional GCs place one lawyer with you. Portfolio Counsel deploys a function around you.
Executive GC
A Biztech partner sits as your general counsel of record at the executive leadership table, owning legal strategy.
+
Embedded Counsel
Legal capacity embedded in your function, working day to day for your GC, CFO, or COO.
=
Enterprise LaaS
Executive GC plus Embedded Counsel = Enterprise Legal-as-a-Service. Biztech staffs both the leadership and the working ranks of your legal function.
Executive GC lands first and Embedded Counsel stacks on top, or Embedded Counsel alone extends a legal team you already lead. We size each engagement by volume and turnaround commitment and quote it to your business. Coverage across the US, the UK, and Australia sits within the same subscription.
Biztech’s approach to Portfolio Counsel
Whether you have no general counsel yet or a lean team already at capacity, growth turns legal into a function that needs more than it has. Adding a senior hire is a fixed cost and a months-long search, and one person rarely covers every jurisdiction or specialty you need. Hourly firms price every marginal hour at peak.
Portfolio Counsel is a function, not a placement. Embedded Counsel is capacity rather than a person, and Executive GC is a partner with a firm behind them. Both are backed by a regulated firm that carries conflicts, insurance, and multi-jurisdiction infrastructure as standard.
“I used to work for a really big law firm in New York, and it's really cool to work at Biztech Lawyers because we provide the same sophisticated legal services but in a more client-friendly manner."
