What Fractional Compliance & Regulatory Counsel Does

Fractional compliance counsel designs and runs compliance programs sized to your risk: policies, training, investigations and relationships with regulators.

LawStaff Group places experienced, video-interviewed attorneys for the hours the work needs, from a few hours a month to several days a week, or full time on contract. While they work with you on a fractional or contract basis, they're on our payroll.

A compliance paralegal can manage training records, filings calendars and policy attestations.
