Fractional CGO Services
A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Darien Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
Your firm markets hard, runs an intake team, and works its referrals — yet they report separately and good leads cool off between teams. We work above the silos and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
In Short
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 runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business on a part-time, contracted basis. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO sits above the silos — making demand, intake, conversion, and retention move the same scoreboard 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
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Typically 6–18 months, then a part-time advisory cadence
Above the Silos
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.
Conversion
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Where Revenue Leaks

- Good leads slip between teams

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.

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?+
The revenue number — marketing oversight, intake and speed-to-lead, conversion and business development, and retention, referrals, and lifetime value, all on one unified 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.
