What Fractional Real Estate Counsel Does

Fractional real estate counsel supports companies and investors with leases, acquisitions, development and financing, without a full-time real estate legal department.

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.

Real estate paralegals handle closings, title review coordination and lease abstracts.

We bill by the hour: on fractional and contract work you pay one hourly rate for the hours you approve, covering the professional's pay and our fee, and we quote it for every candidate before you interview.
