Fractional Chief Growth Officer
A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Atlantic Heights 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 does a fractional CGO do for a Atlantic Heights 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 part-time, contracted basis. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO works 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.
- Top-tier growth leadership at a fraction — roughly 20–40% — of a full-time CGO
- Ideal when a $1M–$100M+ firm is losing leads in the handoffs
- Engagements usually run 6–18 months, then ease into advisory support
Where Leads Die
Where revenue leaks between functions
Marketing hands to intake; intake hands to sales. The leaks live in the gaps — and no one owns them.

CMO vs COO vs CGO
CMO, COO, and CGO — the difference
CMO
The demand function
Drives leads and brand — but hands off at the edge of marketing.
COO
Owns operations
Runs systems and delivery — not the path from lead to signed client.
CGO
Owns the revenue number
Accountable for the whole engine, lead to repeat client.
The Four Legs
The four legs of the revenue engine
Demand
Spend pointed at pipeline, not clicks.
Intake
The marketing-to-intake handoff owned, so no qualified lead goes cold.
Sales & BD
Consultative follow-up and BD channels that turn interest into signed clients.
Retention, referrals & LTV
Signed clients turned into repeat matters and referrals, so growth compounds.
The Payoff
Outcomes Atlantic Heights firms see
Proof
What it looks like in practice
Illustrative engagements; details are representative.
At a $28M PI firm, heavy spend brought leads but qualified prospects leaked between marketing, intake, and follow-up with no one owning the funnel. We built one scoreboard, pulled speed-to-lead under five minutes, and ran a consultative follow-up cadence.
A smaller employment practice got a single pipeline view and one signed-case goal across teams.
Roughly 35% and 25% lifts, respectively, with no added budget.
