A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for San Lorenzo Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
Your San Lorenzo practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. A fractional CGO sits above the silos and makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a San Lorenzo law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who owns the entire revenue engine on a part-time, contracted basis. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO works above the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of each working hard while qualified leads leak between the handoffs.
- Executive growth leadership at roughly 20–40% of a full-time CGO’s cost
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Revenue Relay
Why no one owns the baton
Marketing, intake, sales, and retention each run their own leg. A fractional CGO owns the baton — so qualified leads stop getting dropped between teams.
Marketing
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Speed-to-lead
No good lead left to go cold.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
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.
Siloed
- Marketing, intake, and sales each report their own metric
- 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
- More cases without a bigger budget
- One executive owns the number

Consultative follow-up and BD channels that turn interest into signed clients.
