Growth Leadership for Cobalt 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. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a Cobalt law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business a few days a week rather than full-time. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Executive growth leadership at roughly 20–40% of a full-time CGO’s cost
- Built for $1M–$100M+ firms where the teams don’t share one number
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
The Model
The revenue relay a fractional CGO owns
Each team runs hard, but leads cool in the handoffs. A CGO owns the whole relay and the one number it feeds.
Demand
Measured by cases, not impressions.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Referrals
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Before & After
Leaking vs. sealed: where the revenue goes
Same marketing spend, two very different outcomes — depending on whether anyone owns the whole path.
Siloed
- Three teams, three dashboards, no shared number
- Good leads slip between teams
- Growth means buying more ad spend
- Accountability is diffused
Aligned
- A single source of truth across every team
- No qualified lead left to go cold
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- One executive owns the number
The Payoff
One number, owned and moved every week
North-star
One growth number the whole firm runs on, with a single owner on the hook for it.
The Four Legs
Where a fractional CGO owns the work for a Cobalt firm
Demand & marketing oversight
Spend pointed at pipeline, not clicks.
Intake
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit that closes.
Retention
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and a referral engine, so growth compounds.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q.What is a fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm?+
A fractional Chief Growth Officer is a senior revenue executive who owns your firm’s whole growth engine part-time — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention aligned to one number so growth stops leaking between teams.
Q.How is a fractional CGO different from a CMO or COO?+
Where a CMO handles marketing and a COO handles operations, a CGO orchestrates across them — owning the whole revenue engine rather than a single function.
Q.How much does a fractional CGO cost in Cobalt?+
Most engagements run on a fixed monthly fee well below a full-time growth executive’s $250,000–$450,000+ compensation, set during the diagnostic by size and scope.
Q.What does a fractional CGO actually own?+
Everything that moves revenue: demand, intake and speed-to-lead, conversion and BD, and retention and referrals — consolidated onto a single scoreboard.
Q.What size law firm benefits from a fractional CGO?+
Firms in the $1 million to $100 million+ range get the most value, especially when marketing, intake, and sales each work hard but report separately and qualified leads slip through the handoffs.
