Fractional Chief Growth Officer
The Fractional Chief Growth Officer Rossmoor Law Firms Trust to Own Growth End-to-End
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO works above the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
Above the Silos
Growth is a relay — and leads get dropped at the handoffs
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Marketing
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
The Difference
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
The gap isn’t budget; it’s ownership of the handoffs.
Before a CGO
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- Accountability is diffused
With a fractional CGO
- One unified growth scoreboard for the whole firm
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
The Payoff

The number

The Mandate
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand & marketing oversight
Spend pointed at pipeline, not clicks.
Intake
The gap where most firms quietly lose cases, fixed.
Conversion & business development
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention, referrals & LTV
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.
