Fractional Chief Growth Officer
Fractional CGO Services for North Westchester Law Firms: Put Marketing, Intake & Sales on One Team
Your North Westchester practice invests in marketing, intake, and BD — while no single person owns the number they’re all supposed to move. A fractional Chief Growth Officer takes the whole engine and unifies demand, intake, conversion, and retention under one owner.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a North Westchester law firm?
A fractional CGO is a seasoned growth leader who runs the full path from lead to signed client to repeat business on a fractional schedule. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO sits above the silos — keeping marketing, intake, business development, and retention pulling toward one revenue number 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
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
Pointed at qualified pipeline and cost-per-signed-case, not clicks.
Speed-to-lead
Every qualified lead answered fast — none left to cool.
Sales & BD
Structured pursuit from inquiry to engagement.
Referrals
Happy clients recycle into new pipeline.
Before & After

- Qualified leads cool off in the handoffs
- More revenue requires a bigger budget
- No one owns the revenue number
With a fractional CGO
- A single source of truth across every team
- Speed-to-lead under five minutes, every time
- Revenue grows on the spend you already have
- A single accountable owner
