Fractional CGO Services
Growth Leadership for Hartford Law Firms, Sitting Above the Silos
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 makes every team pull toward one revenue number.
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 takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a fractional schedule. Where a CMO owns marketing and a COO owns operations, the CGO works above the silos — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number 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
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
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.
Intake
No good lead left to go cold.
Conversion
Disciplined follow-up that turns interest into signed clients.
Retention
Signed clients become repeat matters and referrals.
Before & After
