Fractional CGO Services
Growth Leadership for Castlewood Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CGO, and why do Castlewood firms hire one?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm
Above the Silos
Why no one owns the baton
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Marketing
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks
What changes when one owner runs the number
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Before a CGO
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number
The Scoreboard
One number, owned and moved every week
North-star
One unified revenue scoreboard — owned by one executive, reported weekly, and moved on purpose.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
